Material

The Make-A-Word Hop

Make a word for your students by placing three letters on the mat that form a word such as “mat” or “cat.” Have your student stand below the first letter of the word. The student says the sound of the letter. Then, the student side steps to the box below the second letter of the word. The student says the second letter sound. The student side steps again and says the third letter sound. Then, they side-step to the next box and blend the word. They then jump three times, saying the word on each jump. Have them find the corresponding word card and place it on the mat with their spelled out word! Example: The letters on the mat are “m,” “a,” and “t.” The student begins on the foot box below the letter m. The student says “Mmmmmmm.” The student side steps to “a” and says “aaaaaaaa.” The student hops to “t” and says “t” quickly. The student immediately sidesteps to the box below the word “mat” and says “mat.” The student jumps three times saying “mat” with each hop. The student finds the “mat” word card and places it on the mat to the right of the letter “t.” Change letters and repeat the activity.

Phoneme Recognition

To help students recognize letter sounds, lay all of the letter cards on the floor. Have your students step on each letter card while saying all of the sounds that letter can make. For example, ‘c’ sounds are /s/ and /k/. Be sure that your students say the sound correctly. Tell your students the sound if they do not immediately know the sound. Continue until the students are familiar with sounds.

Have students start on START HERE. Have students say “one” while hopping with one foot on the numeral one. Then have students jump with two feet on the two, clap, and say “two.” Continue alternating between one foot and two-footed hops to the end of the mat. Be sure that your student says the numerals correctly. Tell your student the numerals if your student does not know them.

Make Seven

Say to a student, “Choose a number and then walk to it.” Ask the student, “How many steps would you have to take to reach seven?” Child figures it out (either visually or can jump to seven) and answers. For example, if they choose to stand on 5, then answer that it would take 2 steps to reach 7, then the adult responds, “Yes, 5 plus 2 makes 7.” If the student answers incorrectly, have them count again.
