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.
