Re: First gr. contraction games or activities needed
Posted by Keri on 1/01/07
Hey there! I taught first and second grade for a few years...For
contractions there is a way to fold a piece of paper so that
when it's completely open it shows the word completely, such
as cannot, and when it's folded it only shows can't... I'm going to check to see if I can find the instructions
online..it was a GREAT visual for the kids to understand.
Also, each child wrote a contraction in a sentence on
sentence strips and glued an elbow macaroni piece as the
apostrophe...
Below is somewhat of an activity I found that may be a way
you can teach it. It's from a website I was looking
at...Activity: Make a contraction: Fold a sheet of paper in
half -- cut told portion vertically to represent the two
words did not (students write did not on top two flaps). Lift
and have students combine did not on back flap to create one
word didn't (glue the macaroni in place of missing
letter/letters).
Here is a visual of the way I do it on my own, but you can
also purchase cards ...there is a picture on the website here:

Hope this helps!
