Bounce the Blends
Common Core Objective: RF.K.2. Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).
Materials: Gather a small basketball (I have a jack-o-lantern ball that is perfect for a halloween theme).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today we are going to make words by blending sounds together. On your turn, I will bounce three sounds like this (model as you say the sound, bouncing once for each sound) /b/ /a/ /t/.
What is that word? When the child responds bat, throw the ball to him and then have him toss it back. Repeat again with a new word continuing as time allows.
*Note. When students conquer the skill of blending use this same game in a reverse manner. Have student draw a picture card and then bounce once for each sound in the word, then say the whole word as they toss the ball to the teacher.
