Lesson Introduction: Phonics Fun with a Treasure Hunt

Objective

Today, we are going to explore the wonderful world of phonics through an exciting treasure hunt! By the end of our adventure, you'll be able to recognise some important sounds in English that will help you become great readers and writers.

Introduction

Greeting

G’day, everyone! Are you ready for an adventure? 🎉

Setting the Scene

Imagine we are all brave explorers on a treasure hunt. But wait! To find the treasure, we need to unlock the secrets of phonics! Phonics helps us understand the sounds that letters make. Each letter holds a clue to the treasure, and together we will solve them!

Phonics Warm-Up

Before we set off, let’s warm up our voices with some fun phonics sounds. I will say a letter, and you will repeat the sound after me. Are you ready?

(Repeat with a few more letters and sounds.)

Treasure Hunt Instructions

Now that we've warmed up our voices, here’s how the treasure hunt will work:

  1. Clue Cards: I will pass out clue cards with a letter and picture on each one. For example, one card might have the letter 'D' and a picture of a dog.
  2. Sound It Out: When you get your card, let's say the sound of the letter together and then shout out the picture it represents!
  3. Find the Treasure: After we say the sound, you’ll look around our classroom for a hidden treasure box. It has our special rewards inside!

Excitement Building

This treasure hunt will help you become phonics champions! Who's excited? Let’s put on our explorer hats and get started! 🏴‍☠️

Conclusion

With our phonics skills, we are ready to find the hidden treasure! Remember, every sound you discover today will help you read and write better. Let's embark on our phonics adventure!


Follow-Up

After the treasure hunt, we will sit together and share what we learned about the sounds of the letters and how they help us in reading words.

Happy hunting, everyone! 🌟
