Beginning a Lesson on Blending: "The Blending Adventure"

Introduction to the Lesson

Welcome, young explorers! Today, we are going on a wonderful adventure in the land of sounds. Our mission? To discover the magic of blending! Are you ready? Let’s put on our adventure hats and get started!

Story Time: "The Blending Song"

The Tale Begins

Once upon a time, in a colorful land called Soundville, lived three little friends:

• Bunny who loved the sound "b"
• Lion who loved the sound "l"
• Frog who loved the sound "f"

One sunny day, they decided to play a brand new game called Blending. "Let’s combine our sounds to make new friends!" Bunny said excitedly.

The Sound Adventure

• Bunny said, “Let’s start with my sound! Everyone say ‘b’!”

  “B!” the children chanted together.

• Lion quickly added, “Now say ‘l’!”

  “L!” echoed throughout the classroom.

• Frog jumped in and said, “Now, let’s blend them together! What do we get if we blend ‘b’ and ‘l’?”

The children thought hard and shouted, “BL!”

Making New Friends

"Yes! And what about my sound with Bunny's?" asked Lion.

They all tried blending together again:

• “Bunny’s sound ‘b’ and Lion’s sound ‘l’ makes ‘bl.’ Can we think of any words that start with ‘bl’?"

The kids were excited! They started thinking of words like:

• Blue
• Blow
• Blink

The Adventure Continues

As the lesson unfolds, the children will learn to blend even more sounds, creating words as they explore Soundville.

Transition to Activity

Now that we’ve met our friends in Soundville, it’s time for you to be big blending adventurers too!

Let’s put our blending skills to the test with a fun activity. We will break into small groups and use our special blending cards to create words together!

1. Get your blending cards! Each card has a different letter sound.
2. Work together to blend them! See how many fun words you can create.
3. Share your new words with the class!
