BINGO
Lesson plan week 1/2:
Read Bingo while taking away dye cut letters that are placed on
hands. By pairing singing with letter recall, children learn letters
automatically by combining them into a word.
Match clothespins to letters of their name. Then sing the
letters of their name to the tune of BINGO.
Children learn and recall what they have been taught when
new concepts are paired with movement. They will, therefore,
complete an obstacle course to learn letters and specific
vocabulary words: 1.) Throw bean bags at the initial
letter of their name. 2.) Jump over photos of pets, e.g., cat, dog,
fish, lizard, hamster. 3.) Push the Leap Frog ABC
letter of their name and then crawl through the tunnel
while saying the sound of their letter. The activities are
sequenced by color, green, yellow and then red.
Lesson plan week 2/2:
Read Bingo while taking away dye cut letters that are placed on
hands. By pairing singing with letter recall, children learn letters
automatically by combining them into a word.
Children will sort letters that are in their name and not in their
name on two separate boards. If they master identifying letters
in their first name, then they will practice finding letters of
their last name that are and are not in his/her last name. When
learning new concepts, children match, point and then say
them. If children are frustrated with recalling letters, have
them match or point to the letters. Getting two sets of
refrigerator magnets is a great way to match letters.
Complete an obstacle course to teach letter and word concepts.
1.) Throw bean bags at initial letter of their name. 2.) Jump over
pets; cat, dog, fish, lizard, hamster. 3.) Push the Leap Frog
ABC letter of their name and then crawl through the tunnel
while saying the sound of their letter.
