Wonky Word puzzles consist of a set
of unrelated words that, when read aloud, sound like familiar phrases, names, or places. Example: Law Sand Jealous sounds like Los Angeles.
Divide your class into teams. Each team works to solve the puzzle. The first team to raise their hand gets to answer. If the answer is correct, they get one point. If it is incorrect, the other team(s) get to try the next problem(s) without any competition. The game ends when you decide.
Have fun!
