Make Compound Words This page will let you move words to make compound words.
A compound word is a word made up of two smaller words.
You may also move one of the small turtles.
First, click, hold, and drag the words to rearrange them. Second, find out which small turtle can be moved.
I hope you enjoy this activity. - John Schlichte
