Homophone and near homophone matching cards.
Children are given a range of questions and definitions and the children must try to match the correct homophone. This can be completed as a game or class work.
This game of match is based on Year 5 homophones and near homophones.
Children must match the picture to the definition of a range of homophones and near homophones.
This will assess children’s understanding of the definitions of a range of homophones, such as steal and steel.
Draw the sentence, draw the subordinate clause.
Students draw the sentence in the first box. Then students must identify which part is the subordinate clause and draw it in the next box.
This challenges and develops an understanding of main and subordinate clauses, whilst demonstrating the impact they have on the meaning of a sentence.
Year 5 homophones and near homophones drawing definitions activity.
