Welcome to the World of Letters: Soft and Hard C and G

Introduction

Hello, amazing Grade 3 learners! Today, we are going on a special adventure in the world of letters, focusing on two very interesting sounds: the soft and hard sounds of the letters "C" and "G." But before we dive in, let’s kick things off with a fun and exciting activity!

Soft and Hard C and G Adventure

The Magical Forest of Sounds

Imagine you are explorers in the Magical Forest of Sounds! This forest is filled with curious creatures who make sounds that are either soft or hard. Your mission today is to uncover the secrets of these sounds by finding enchanted words!

Activity Instructions:

1. Gather Around: Sit in a circle with your friends.

2. Story Time: I’m going to read you a short, imaginative story about our Magical Forest. Listen closely for the soft and hard sounds of "C" and "G"!

3. The Story:

   • Once upon a time, in the Cuddly Cave, there lived a gentle giant named Greg. Greg loved to collect glistening gems and colorful candies!
   • One sunny day, Greg decided to take a trip to the Crazy Creek. As he walked, he heard the sound of chirping birds and saw a cute little kitten playing by the water.
   • Suddenly, a group of brave kids came running through the forest, looking for a hidden treasure. They needed Greg’s help to find it!

4. Listen for Sounds: Here are the words I want you to listen for:

   • Hard Sounds: C (as in Candy) and G (as in Greg)
   • Soft Sounds: C (as in Cuddle) and G (as in Gentle)

5. Treasure Hunt: After the story, I’ll give you each a map with places to find words that have either soft or hard "C" and "G."

6. Sharing Time: When you find your treasure words, we’ll come back together, and you can share what you discovered!
