Compound Words Worksheet - Draw lines to form compound words.

Final Answer:
snow + man = snowman
cross + walk = crosswalk
eye + ring = eyering
gold + fish = goldfish
bed + room = bedroom *(but “room” not listed — correct pair is bed + time? No — recheck list)*
Wait — let’s match only given words:

Left column: snow, cross, eye, gold, bed, sun, pan, ear, fire, grape
Right column: time, cake, ring, man, shine, man, walk, fish, fruit, ball

Note: “man” appears twice on right — so two words can pair with “man”.

Let’s find real compound words from the list:

- snow + man = snowman ✔
- cross + walk = crosswalk ✔
- eye + ring = eyering? Not standard. Usually “earring”, but “ear” is on left, “ring” on right → ear + ring = earring ✔
- gold + fish = goldfish ✔
- bed + ? — possible: bed + time? no. bed + ball? no. Wait — maybe “sun” + “shine” = sunshine ✔
- sun + shine = sunshine ✔
- pan + cake = pancake ✔
- fire + ball = fireball ✔
- grape + fruit = grapefruit ✔

Now check all 10 pairs used:

Left: snow, cross, eye, gold, bed, sun, pan, ear, fire, grape
Right: time, cake, ring, man, shine, man, walk, fish, fruit, ball

We have 10 left and 10 right — need exact 10 matches.

Let’s assign uniquely:

1. snow + man = snowman
2. cross + walk = crosswalk
3. ear + ring = earring
4. gold + fish = goldfish
5. sun + shine = sunshine
6. pan + cake = pancake
7. fire + ball = fireball
8. grape + fruit = grapefruit
That’s 8. Remaining left: bed, eye
Remaining right: time, man (one man left — since two “man” listed)

What about: bed + time? Not a word.
eye + time? No.
Wait — maybe “eye” + “ball” = eyeball ✔ — but ball is used for fireball? Can’t reuse.

Let’s list right side clearly as given:

Right column (top to bottom):
time
cake
ring
man
shine
man
walk
fish
fruit
ball

So positions:
1. time
2. cake
3. ring
4. man
5. shine
6. man
7. walk
8. fish
9. fruit
10. ball

Now standard compound words using only these:

- snow + man (use man #4) → snowman
- cross + walk (walk #7) → crosswalk
- ear + ring (ring #3) → earring
- gold + fish (fish #8) → goldfish
- sun + shine (shine #5) → sunshine
- pan + cake (cake #2) → pancake
- fire + ball (ball #10) → fireball
- grape + fruit (fruit #9) → grapefruit
That’s 8.

Left remaining: bed, eye
Right remaining: time (#1), man (#6)

Now: bed + time? No.
But “eyeball” uses eye + ball — but ball already used. However, maybe the intended pairing is:

eye + ball = eyeball
fire + man? no
bed + man = bedman? not real.

Wait — perhaps “bedroom” is expected, but “room” isn’t in list. So likely the correct intended pairs are:

1. snow — man
2. cross — walk
3. eye — ball → eyeball
4. gold — fish
5. bed — time? No.

Let me double-check common compounds with these words:

- snowman ✔
- crosswalk ✔
- earring ✔ (ear + ring)
- goldfish ✔
- sunshine ✔ (sun + shine)
- pancake ✔ (pan + cake)
- fireball ✔ (fire + ball)
- grapefruit ✔ (grape + fruit)
That’s 8.

Two left: bed and eye
Two right left: time and man (second man)

Is “bedman” a word? No.
“eyeman”? No.
But “man” appears twice — maybe one is for snowman, the other for *bedman*? Unlikely.

Alternative: maybe “eye” + “time” = “eyetime”? No.

Wait — could “ring” go with “fire”? firering? No.

Perhaps the worksheet expects these 10:

1. snow + man
2. cross + walk
3. ear + ring
4. gold + fish
5. sun + shine
6. pan + cake
7. fire + ball
8. grape + fruit
9. bed + time → not valid
10. eye + man → “eyeman” not standard.

Hold on — maybe “bed” + “room” is intended but “room” misprinted as “time”? But we must use given words.

Let me search mental list: Is “time” used in any compound with left words?
- nighttime — but “night” not listed.
- sundial? no.

Another possibility: The word “man” is listed twice intentionally so that both snowman and bedman are accepted in some curricula? Unlikely.

Wait — what about eyeball? That uses *eye* and *ball*. Then fire must pair with something else — but “fire” + “man” = fireman ✔! Yes! fireman is a standard compound word.

So:
- fire + man = fireman
- eye + ball = eyeball

Then we have two “man”s: one for snowman, one for fireman. Perfect.

Now assign:

1. snow + man = snowman
2. cross + walk = crosswalk
3. ear + ring = earring
4. gold + fish = goldfish
5. sun + shine = sunshine
6. pan + cake = pancake
7. fire + man = fireman
8. eye + ball = eyeball
9. grape + fruit = grapefruit
10. bed + time = ??? still issue.

Left: bed
Right used so far: man (x2), walk, ring, fish, shine, cake, ball, fruit → that’s 8 right words. Remaining right: time, and one more? Let's count:

Right list: time, cake, ring, man, shine, man, walk, fish, fruit, ball → 10 items.

Used:
- cake → pancake
- ring → earring
- man (1) → snowman
- shine → sunshine
- man (2) → fireman
- walk → crosswalk
- fish → goldfish
- ball → eyeball
- fruit → grapefruit
That’s 9. Remaining right: time

Remaining left: bed

Is there a compound “bedtime”? YES! bedtime is a standard compound word: bed + time.

Perfect!

So all 10:

1. snow — man → snowman
2. cross — walk → crosswalk
3. ear — ring → earring
4. gold — fish → goldfish
5. sun — shine → sunshine
6. pan — cake → pancake
7. fire — man → fireman
8. eye — ball → eyeball
9. grape — fruit → grapefruit
10. bed — time → bedtime

All are real, standard compound words.

Final Answer:
snowman, crosswalk, earring, goldfish, sunshine, pancake, fireman, eyeball, grapefruit, bedtime
