To engage young learners with the letter "B" through an interactive storytime and hands-on activity.
As children settle on the carpet, position the big blue bear in front of them, ensuring it's visible to everyone.
Begin with a cheerful voice:
"Hello, friends! Today we are going to explore a wonderful letter! Can anyone guess which letter we're talking about? That's right, it's the letter B! But first, let's meet our fuzzy friend!"
Hold up the big blue bear and say:
"This is my special friend, Big Blue Bear! He loves to find things that start with the letter B! Let’s go on an adventure together to discover all the things he loves. Are you ready?”
Open the picture book and read aloud, emphasizing words that start with the letter B. Encourage the children to shout out the letter whenever they hear it:
"Look! Here comes a big, black bear! What letter does ‘bear’ start with?”
After the story, display the letter B flashcards. Ask the children to repeat words and sound them out:
Transition to an art activity:
"Now that we’ve learned about the letter B, let's make something fun! Grab your crayons and paper. Can you draw something that starts with the letter B? A big balloon? A beautiful butterfly? Let’s get creative!”
End the lesson by sharing everyone's artwork and applauding each child's unique creation:
"Great job, everyone! We discovered so many things that start with the letter B, just like Big Blue Bear. Remember, each time you hear a word that starts with B, you’re a letter B superstar!"
Encourage students to explore their homes for objects starting with B to share during the next class.
With this engaging start to the lesson, children will be excited to learn about the letter B in a fun and memorable way!
