From FreeReading
| Activity Type: Build Accuracy |
| Activity Form: Standard |
| Grade: K, 1 |
| Group Size: Small Group |
| Length: 15 minutes |
| Materials: bean bag or ball |
| Goal: Given a sound, the student can produce words with that begin with that sound (“/d/” -> “dog”). |
| Items: All letter sounds learned so far. |
What to do
- Have students sit in a circle.
- Today we are going to pass the bean bag around the circle. As soon as the first person gets the bean bag, I am going to say a letter. That person must then pass the bean bag around the circle and name five words that begin with the letter I called out.
- Remember, you have to name five words before the bean bag gets back to you. If you can’t name five words in that time, you’ll be out.
- Does anybody have any questions before we play? Answer students’ questions and then begin the game. Be sure to say a letter sound, not a letter name.
- If the naming five words proves too difficult, try three. For students who struggle, give them help and make a note in an Activity Log.
