What is Onomatopoeia?

Onomatopoeia are words that sound like the noises they describe. They help make writing more exciting by letting you "hear" the sounds. Think of words like "buzz," "crash," or "meow"!

Vowels, consonants, semivowels, and onomatopoeia: the sounds of language.

Charades: Guess the Sound!

We're playing "Guess the Sound" charades! Your class will divide into two teams, and one player will pick a card and act out the sound shown. Their team must guess the sound to earn a point, without any talking from the person acting.

Guess the Sound charades: a fun game of silent acting.

What's That Sound Word?

Onomatopoeia (pronounced: on-uh-mat-uh-PEE-uh) is a word that imitates the sound it describes. These special words let you "hear" the action in writing, making stories come alive. For instance, "buzz" sounds like a bee, and "meow" sounds like a cat.
