Write a sentence using a word with the vowel team 'ai'.

Sentences will vary but should include a word with the 'ai' vowel team, such as 'rain,' 'wait,' or 'paint.'

Create a new word using either the 'ea' or 'ai' vowel team. Explain what your new word means.

Answers will vary. Example: 'Sheat' - a covering for sheep to keep them clean. The answer should include a new word with either 'ea' or 'ai' and a reasonable definition.
