Lesson 3: Mystery Box
Lesson 3: Mystery Box
Main Concept: 
Children will listen to a rhyming book and practice identifying rhyming words.

Warm-Up Activity:
Begin with a simple call-and-response rhyme. Say, "I say cat, you say ___!" (hat). Continue with other rhyming pairs (e.g., sun/fun, log/frog).

Main Activity: Mystery Box
  • Hide familiar items in a mystery box. Say, “What’s in the box that rhymes with sock?” Let them feel and guess before pulling out the block.
  • Let them take a turn hiding something in the mystery box for you to figure out. 
  • To make this activity easier, you can do just one item in the box at a time. 

Prewriting: 
Wavy Lines(Found in letters like "s" and "c")
  • Ocean Waves Sensory Tray: Fill a tray with blue sand or salt, and have kids draw wavy lines with fingers or sticks (like waves).
  • Wiggly Worm Race: Use yarn “worms” and have kids guide them along a taped-down wavy line.
  • Dance the Waves: Play gentle music and move arms like wavy lines in the air or with streamers.
