Ask for french fry containers from a local restaurant. Make “french fries” by cutting yellow kitchen sponges into strips. Give each child a container and four french fries. Hearing individual sounds in a word is a difficult skill, so make this a fun, interactive game for the children to begin learning about phonemes. Turn over a simple picture card. Start with just three sounds, such as d-o-g/ c-a-t/ s-i-t. Say the word slowly. Ask, “what sounds do you hear in the word d-o-g?” Model this for the children using your own set of french fries. Place three french fries in your box as you say the individual sounds. This can be done in small group.
