Spell Bee Word: moonwalk


Basic Details

Word: Moonwalk

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: A walk on the Moon by an astronaut. It is also the name of a dance step where the dancer seems to glide backwards.

How to Spell Moonwalk

Syllables: moon - walk

Tricky part: Moon has two o's in the middle. Walk has a silent l, so children often leave it out and write wak or wok.

Watch out for: monwalk, moonwak, moonwok

Memory tip: Picture two round full moons for the two o's. Then walk, which keeps its quiet l just like talk and chalk.

Usage Examples

Example 1: We watched an old video of the first moonwalk in class.

Example 2: Aryan tried to do the moonwalk on the slippery floor.

Example 3: The astronaut was tired after a long moonwalk.
