How do you transcribe a word that can function as a verb or a gerund, e.g., "ice skating"?

In the sentence "I am going ice skating.", ice skating functions as a gerund and is, therefore, not segmented. The same goes for the sentence "Ice skating is my favorite winter sport." Ice skating functions as a noun and is not segmented. Also, when the word is used as an adjective (e.g. "an ice skating rink") it is not segmented. If the child were to say, "I am ice skating." then you would transcribe it as "I am ice skate/ing.".
