In The Good Ole Summer Time

When I think of summer I think of sunglasses.

Next, there are a variety of ways you can use 20-Summer-Sun Compound Word Sunglasses.

You can run off and laminate the puzzle cards and have students put them together as a center.

I’ve included directions for a variety of games that you can play with them such as Memory Match Concentration or “I Have; Who Has?”

They are great as worksheets.  So that you can program the glasses with other lessons, to reinforce more report card standards and practice other skills, such as skip counting, subtraction or addition equations, shapes etc.  I’ve included a blank set of sunglasses.

Have students cut the sunglass pages apart, put them in alphabetical order, trace the words, collate the pages and make a booklet.

Again, there’s a blank set of sunglasses so that you can program your own skillsheets. i.e., Write only the uppercase letters in and have students fill in the lowercase letters, or write in the lowercase letters, and have students fill in the uppercase ones.

I’ve also made the sunglass letters into puzzles.  Color the sunglasses, laminate them and cut the pieces apart on the puzzle lines.

Besides a puzzle center activity, I’ve also included a list of game ideas you can use the pieces for as well.
