This activity is based on of the book The Hungry Thing by Jan Slepian. You will need a “feed me” puppet and a variety of plastic foods. In a growly monster voice say, “Boy, am I ever hungry; I think I would like some apples. Feed me!” Change the initial sound in the name of the food item such as woccoli instead of broccoli. The children then look at the food items to try to guess what the hungry thing really wants to eat. In your teacher's voice reinforce the sounds by repeating the words again, “Woccoli sounds like broccoli. That silly monster must want broccoli. Why don't you feed it to him and see?” The child will feed the broccoli to the hungry thing. Again, in a monster voice, make chewing sounds and say, “Yum, yum, yum.” Continue feeding the hungry thing all of the different plastic foods. This can be done in small group.
