Because it's Valentine's Day, there have to be lots of hearts, right? So here you have some pink heart puzzles!

Students have to match the words to create a compound word. There are 12 words and they can either match the words or the pictures. To accompany these are compound word worksheets. I give these to my students once they have become familiar with the puzzles. Students can either cut and paste the pictures into the correct box, or identify the compound word from the pictures and write the compound word below in the space provided.
