Start Teaching Multiple Meaning Words Today!

Teaching multiple-meaning words early on is so essential for building strong vocabulary and comprehension skills. When kids understand that words can have different meanings depending on how they’re used, it helps them make sense of what they’re reading or hearing. Plus, it improves both written and verbal communication. By introducing multiple-meaning words early, we’re also helping them think critically and solve problems when they come across new words in different contexts.

Match It Up! Multiple Meaning Word Game

This set of printable multiple-meaning word cards is a fun and interactive matching game designed to help students explore and understand words with more than one meaning. Each card features a word in bold, along with two corresponding images representing its different meanings. 

To play, students will match the written word to both images, reinforcing their understanding of how context can change the meaning. These cards are perfect for group activities, literacy centers, or independent practice.
