Since I’m no longer teaching kindergarten, I’ve been able to
focus on creating resources for other grade levels. I love making resources for
the little kiddos, but I’ve really been enjoying making fun activities for the
big kids! Last weekend I was planning some projects for second grade and I knew
that, “Contraction Cupcakes” would be a perfect way to start!
Contraction Cupcakes is a contraction matching game, in
which students match two words (top of the cupcake) to the contraction that the two words form (bottom of the cupcake). 32
cupcakes are included, allowing your students to work on many of the most
popular contractions that they will encounter in their learning.
There is also a recording sheet for students to complete
after matching the cupcakes. This is great for accountability, as it allows you to check your students’ work and serves to help keep
them on task.
Contraction Cupcakes is an activity that your students are
sure to love! It works great as a literacy center, small group work, morning work station, or intervention activity! Check it out by clicking on the link above, or by clicking HERE.
