Language challenge - Making Big Words

Here is a fun activity you can do at home with your child.

Write and cut out the following letters.

A  P  I  T  S  M  O  E  O  A  M

Move the letters around and make as many words as you can.  The challenge is to make as many "big" words (4 or more letters), using only the letters you are given.  You cannot add letters.   You can only use double letters if there are actually two of them above (e.g., 2 O's).

The BIG challenge - the letters above are actually one word.  Scramble the letters to see if you can figure out what the 11-letter "big" word is!

Hint:  the students have seen and heard this word in the last couple of weeks in Social Studies!

Good luck!
