Material

Rhyming

Place a vowel on the center of the mat. Pick a letter that will make the ending of a word (e. g. a-t) Say the ending sound you made with your students. Ask students what beginning letter they could choose that would make a word. Ask if there are any other letters that would make a word with that ending. Talk about rhyming and that words with the same end sounds rhyme. Then have them make as many different rhyming words as they can with the ending you chose. Have a student write on the board each word they make. Repeat with a different vowel or different last consonant.

Mystery Word

Say three letter sounds (that create a word from the mat) and have a student find the matching letters that would make those sounds. Then, have them jump on the letters they think and say the word they made. For example, if you say, “mmm”, they will find the ‘M’ on the mat. You say the short e sound, they find the ‘e’ card and place it on the mat. Then say, ‘t.’ They find the ‘T’ card and place it on the third square on the mat. Then, the student jumps the letters and says “m-e-t, met.”

Mad Libs

Use the mat to make up a funny short story by having students take turns jumping on different blocks and inserting a word into the sentence. It is okay to be silly but tell them it needs to make sense.

The teacher can add article adjectives or conjunctions etc. as needed to make it flow.

Bean Bag Decides

Have a student toss three bean bags onto the mat. In the order they landed ask the student to make a sentence using each kind of word respectively.

If they cannot make a complete sentence from the words ask what type of word is missing to make a complete thought.

For example: Bean bags land on “noun, adjective, adverb.” Student says, “Black dog quickly.” Ask what is missing and for them to jump to its square and add it to their sentence, “verb-eats” “Black dog eats quickly!”
