Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about something magical called compound words with our friend, Derrick the Magician. Are you ready to see some magic?
Compound words are like magic words! They are made when two smaller words join together to make a brand-new word with a different meaning. Let’s see how Derrick uses his magic to create some compound words!
First, Derrick has a mail and a box. With a wave of his magic stick, abracadabra! It becomes a mailbox! That’s our first compound word.
Next, Derrick finds some honey and a comb. Hocus pocus! They turn into a honeycomb. Isn’t that sweet?
Look, there’s a shiny star and a little fish. Sim sully, sim solo, bim! Now we have a starfish! How cool is that?
Let’s see what’s next. Derrick has a pan and a cake. Presto chango! They become a pancake. Yum!
Oh, a tooth and a brush are next. Wibbly wobbly! They turn into a toothbrush. Remember to brush your teeth twice a day!
What’s this? A pen and a wheel. Izzy wizzy, let’s get busy! It’s a pinwheel! Watch it spin in the wind!
Now, there’s some wibbly wobbly jelly and beans. Bibbidi bobbidi boo! They become jelly beans! What a tasty treat!
Next up, a basket and a ball. Hocus pocus! They turn into a basketball. Let’s play!
Here’s an egg and a plant. Together, they become an eggplant! It’s a vegetable, not an egg!
Look, there’s some butter and a fly. Presto change-o! They become a beautiful butterfly! Watch it flutter by!
Finally, Derrick has a book and a worm. Iggy ziggy, ziggety zoom! They turn into a bookworm, someone who loves reading. What a fun adventure!
That’s all for today, friends! Remember, compound words are everywhere, and you can find them too. Keep exploring and have fun with words!

Compound Word Hunt: Go on a compound word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that might be compound words. For example, do you see a toothbrush or a basketball? Write down the compound words you find and draw a picture of each one. How many can you find?
Create Your Own Magic Words: Use your imagination to create new compound words! Take two objects or words you like and combine them to make a new word. For example, what happens when you mix a sun and a flower? You get a sunflower! Draw a picture of your new compound word and share it with your friends or family.
Story Time with Compound Words: Write a short story using at least five compound words. It could be about a magical adventure with Derrick the Magician or a day in the life of a bookworm. Share your story with the class and see if they can spot all the compound words you used!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hello and welcome to Tutoring Hour! In this video, we’ll learn about compound words with Derrick the Magician.
Abracadabra! What’s that? There’s something written on it. Hmm, let’s read that out. Compound words are formed when two or more words join together to create a new word that has an entirely different meaning.
Alright, I got that! I’m going to show you how to make compound words with my magic stick. Let’s begin!
I have a mail and a box. Abracadabra! That’s a mailbox! We have our first compound word.
What’s this? Honey and yummy. And that’s a comb! Hocus pocus, don’t lose your focus! That’s a honeycomb.
There’s something shining! What’s that? A star! Wow! And I have a cute little fish. Sim sully, sim solo, bim! That’s a starfish! I’m getting better at this!
Let’s move on. Ah, that’s a pan, and I have a cake. Presto chango! That’s a pancake! Our fourth compound word is here.
What’s next? A tooth! Whose could it be? Never mind, let me try some magic on the tooth. Ah, that is a brush! There’s a tooth and a brush. Wibbly wobbly! That’s a toothbrush! That’s good! I’ll brush twice every day, and you should too!
What’s that? Ah, it’s a pen, and that’s a wheel. Let me see what I can do with it. Izzy wizzy, let’s get busy! That’s a pinwheel! That’s a compound word too!
