Welcome, little explorers! Today, we are going on a magical journey to discover the wonderful world of words!
Props and Visuals: To set the mood, gather colourful storybooks, some soft toys, and a treasure chest filled with letters. Arrange the classroom as a cozy reading corner with cushions and fairy lights.
As we settle down on our comfy cushions, let's imagine that we are wandering through a mystical forest filled with friendly animals. Each animal we meet along the way has a special letter or sound to share with us!
Begin with a short, engaging story:
“Once upon a time, in a magical forest, there lived a talking rabbit named Rufus who loved letters. Rufus found a special treasure chest that held all the letters of the alphabet! He decided to share them with all his animal friends. Will you join Rufus on his adventure to meet the animals and learn their favourite letters?"
Introduce the Animals: After telling the story, bring out soft toys representing the animals (e.g., a bunny, a bear, a fox).
Letter Discovery: Each toy will represent a letter and its corresponding sound:
Letter Sounds Game: Encourage the children to say the sound with you and share words that start with those letters.
Treasure Hunt: Hide letters around the reading corner. Let the children go on a “treasure hunt” to find the letters and make the sounds together.
As we wrap up our magical journey, remind the little explorers how wonderful words can be. Invite them to share their favourite letter or sound before they venture off to continue their own adventures in learning.
“Remember, every time you read a book, you're going on a new adventure. What will you discover next?”
By using a creative and interactive approach, children can explore the English language in a fun and memorable way!
