Compound Words

This is a fun exercise which gives you practice in selecting with the mouse and cutting and pasting. Words from the second column are to be selected and then moved over to match the appropriate word in the first column.. This is also a good exercise to practice the undo button on the upper toolbar to undo mistakes you may make.
