About this Worksheet:
Puns are a fun way to learn about figurative language. In this worksheet, your student will explore homophonic puns—words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. By choosing the spelling that fits the subject’s “world” rather than standard grammar, students will practice identifying how authors use creative spelling to create humor and double meanings. It’s compatible with Common Core Standards for 8th grade, although you may find it helpful for other students as well.
