Objectives
Learning rhymes and reading.
What You Need:
letter magnets
magnetic board in your classroom
strips of paper
What You Do:
Have the magnetic board set up at free-choice center and have a special word for the day.
Let the children create as many rhyming words that rhyme with the word for the day and then have them write it down on the
strip of paper.
Each day in language arts, read the words and have the other class be detectives if they are rhyming or not. [As an added bonus, if the students get it right, they receive a sticker for a job well done, this helps those students who have difficulty receiving stickers in a special area.]
