Includes:
-circle game (how many circular designs can you come up with)

Homonyms are words that are spelled and sound the same, but have different meanings.
This activity has 15 examples of a homonym and 2 of their definitions. They are laid out with the word at the top of the triangle and the bottom of it cut in to two sections, each with a definition in.
You need to cut up all of the triangles and match up the 2 meanings with the 1 word.
It was made on powerpoint to make it easier for me to make, it is not actually a powerpoint. They are meant to be printed out and cut up.

It has a range of different activities, such as word searches, fill in the missing word, a crossword and more.
