Good morning, little explorers! Today, we are going to embark on a magical adventure into the Animal Kingdom where we will meet some friendly animals and discover their special sounds! Are you ready? Let’s grab our explorer hats and get started!
Imagine a world where lions roar, frogs croak, and birds chirp! In our journey, each animal will help us learn a new sound. But first, let’s warm up our listening ears with a little song.
🎵 Sing the "Animal Sounds" Song 🎵
(To the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Roar, roar, goes the lion loud,
Chirp, chirp, sings the bird so proud.
Honk, honk, says the silly goose,
Splash, splash, jumps the frog so loose.
Woof, woof, goes the puppy's bark,
Meow, meow, sings the cat in the dark.(Encourage the children to make the animal sounds as you sing along!)
Now that we’re all warmed up, let’s meet our first animal!
The Lion 🦁
Sound it makes: "L"
Activity: Let’s pretend to be lions! Let’s all “roar” like lions. What letter do we hear at the start of the word “lion”? Yes, it’s the letter L!
The Bird 🐦
Sound it makes: "B"
Activity: Now, flap your wings and chirp like a bird! What letter do we hear at the start of the word “bird”? That’s right! It’s the letter B!
The Frog 🐸
Sound it makes: "F"
Activity: Let's hop like frogs and croak! What sound do we hear at the start of “frog”? Yes, the letter F makes that sound!
As we finish our adventure, let’s sit in a circle and share our favorite animal and its sound. Remember, every time you hear these sounds, think of the letters we learned: L, B, and F!
Great job, explorers! You’ve done an amazing job learning about phonics today. Keep listening for those animal sounds at home or in the park, and we will see you next time on our next phonics adventure. Goodbye, little adventurers! 🐾✨
Feel free to use this activity to make learning phonics fun and engaging for your little ones!
