How to Use This Pack

Six pages about words with two meanings. Pages 1 and 4 give a sentence and two pictures, and children circle the one the sentence means. Pages 2 and 5 show four pictures and children circle the two that one word names. Pages 3 and 6 show one meaning, and children draw the other in the box.

In the Classroom

Hold up two things with one name, a toy bat and a picture of a bat, and ask how one word can name both. Read each sentence aloud for kindergarten and ask "Which one does it mean?"

At Home

Look for words with two meanings together: a tree's bark and a dog's bark, a ring on a finger and a bell's ring. Make up a silly sentence that uses both.

Tips for Success

  • The other words in the sentence are the clue
  • Act out the verbs: ring, roll, bark
  • Draw first, then tell about it
  • Check the answer key
