Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings and spellings. Here are some fun activities to teach homophones to primary students.
1. Homophone Dictionary Hunt:- List out 20 sets of Homophones and write them down on the board.
- Distribute an activity sheet (Colour Paper)

- Tell them to write their meanings under the words as shown in the below activity sheet.
- And also tell them to write a sentence using the word given in the dictionary.

2. Homophone Bingo:
Create bingo cards with homophones on them. Call out the definition of a homophone and have the students find the corresponding word on their bingo card. The first student to get a full row or column wins.
3. Homophone Match-up:
Create a set of cards with homophones on them, and another set with their corresponding meanings. Have students match the homophone cards with their corresponding meaning cards.
4. Homophone Pictionary:
Have students draw pictures of homophones and have their classmates guess what they are drawing. For example, they could draw a picture of a knight and a night, and their classmates would have to guess which homophone they are trying to depict.
5. Homophone Charades:
Similar to Homophone Pictionary, but instead of drawing pictures, students act out homophones while their classmates try to guess which one they are acting out.
6. Homophone Scavenger Hunt:
Hide homophone pairs around the classroom or schoolyard and have students find them. For example, you could hide a pair of two and too, or pair and pear.
7. Homophone Song:
Create a catchy song that includes homophones, and have students sing along. This is a fun way to help students remember homophones.
8. Homophone Storytime:
Read a story to the class that includes homophones, and have students identify them as they hear them. This is a great way to integrate homophones into language arts lessons.
Remember to make the activities interactive, engaging, and age-appropriate for primary students. These activities can help students learn homophones in a fun and memorable way.
