Contraction Hunt: Go on a contraction hunt around your home or classroom! Look for books, magazines, or signs that have contractions in them. Write down the contractions you find and what two words they come from. Share your list with a friend or family member and see who can find the most contractions!
Contraction Match-Up: Create a set of contraction cards. On one card, write a contraction like “I’m” and on another card, write the words it comes from, “I am.” Mix up all the cards and lay them face down. Take turns flipping two cards at a time to find a match. If you find a match, keep the pair! See who can collect the most pairs.
Contraction Story Time: Write a short story or a few sentences about your day using as many contractions as you can. For example, “I’m going to the park, and it’s sunny outside.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the contractions you used!
