Onomatopoeia Task Cards

My students LOVE this activity! We use these these task cards to discover 75 examples of onomatopoeia. And these are not just simple find the answer task cards…as students hunt for the onomatopoeia, they must solve a “mystery” on each card.

Here’s how it works. Post the photo clues for students to see (featuring printable or ink-saving digital options). Students read each passage, highlighting or circling onomatopoeia as they encounter new terms. Each task card has a number hint so students know how many terms they are searching for.

Now for the added twist…your students must use the sound clues they’ve gathered to infer what each task card is about, linking the story to the corresponding photograph.

These Onomatopoeia Task Cards feature everything you will need for a fun, challenging activity your students will beg to complete!
