During small group, provide children with picture cards of foods you might bring to a picnic along with a picnic basket or bowl.  Use one syllable words such as:  milk, pear, peach, meat, cheese, bread, pie, corn, rice, beans or peas.  Give each child a card and say "We are going to fill our picnic basket with foods we will bring".  Explain you will say the word, separating the beginning and ending of the word and they will guess the food word.  When the children guess the word, have the child with the matching food picture in the basket.  Continue until all the food cards are gone.
