Sample Activity
Word Blending Hop
  • Have your student place an end sound card at the top of the mat on the box that says “Place Card Here”.
  • Then, have your student stand on START HERE.
  • Have your student say the initial sound in the first box.
  • Then, have your student say the end sound at the top of the mat.
  • Next, have your student jump on the first box blending the initial sound with the end sound to make a word.
  • Ask your student if they have created a real or silly word.
    • If the student has created a real word, have them cross their right leg over the left and tap “real word”.
    • If the student has created a silly word, have them cross their left leg over the right and tap “silly word”.
  • The student repeats the activity for each of the initial sounds on the mat.
  • Repeat the activity until the student is comfortable with blending words. Repeat with different end sound cards.
  • Guide your student’s selection of end sound cards to avoid word combinations that create profanity.
  • Point out to students that sometimes silly words in English are real words in other languages.
