Multiple Meaning Words
Multiple Meaning Words Ice Cream Scoop by Make Take Teach on Teachers pay Teachers (TPT). Link to Resource:
This great resource for teaching multiple meaning words from Make Take Teach is on TPT. It is the Multiple Meaning Words Ice Cream Scoop Activity. I really would like to take time to rave about this great TPT resource.
Assembling Activity
Once I had printed these materials I decided to create a matching board activity using Dollar Tree, Fastener Dots. I realized there were enough word matching materials to create two activities. So I separated the words into two piles. One consisted of the most commonly used words. The next pile consisted of the more challenging, less commonly used words. The process I used to create the most commonly used words board is listed below.
To create this I attached two file folders together using packaging tape (illustrated in the photo above). Next I glued the ice cream cones onto the file folder board. Then I laminated the file board and each individual ice cream scoop.
The next step was to match the scoops to the correct ice cream cone. There were various number of scoops for different ice cream cones. “Hints the goal of the activity to illustrate the multiple meanings of words.” Once I had correctly matched the words. I attached both parts of my fastener dots to each of the scoops and placed them over the correct cone.
Activity Reflection
Therefore when the scoop was removed the bottom part of the Velcro dot was in place to correctly match in the future. Adding the Dollar Tree Fastener Dots created a more engaging activity for my students. I would like to give a shout out to Make Take Teach for this great resource.
I used these activities several times throughout this year as a center activity to reinforce my students’ skill with multiple meaning words.
Teacher tip: I am fortunate to have six iPads in my room. Students to use the iPads to take a picture of their finished matching activity. When they rotated to the teacher station, we would check over their matches and discuss their thinking process while doing the activity. This provided me with the opportunity to make sure that my students were mastering this skill and to correct any misconceptions my students may have had.
Again, I would like to reiterate that this resource belongs to Make Take Teach and is available at TPT .
Full credit of the resource and its uses is given to her. I did seek her permission before posting this blog post. Lastly, just thought I would share how I assembled it to work in my classroom. This is a great resource for reinforcing such skills.
