Literacy Activities
Skid a Lid game

• Show the children how to skid a lid by sliding it across a flat surface.
• Hand a lid to each kid or let each kid pick a lid to skid.
• Have the children take turns trying to skid different lids.
• See which lid can skid the best.
• As the children skid the lids, have them chant, “Skid, skid, skid the lid.”
• Review with the children the words they heard that end in -id and make a list of the words on the board.
• Invite each child to underline the -id in a word on the list.

More Practice
Identify, blend, and manipulate sounds

• With word blending cards, have the children make new words by changing either of the consonants or the vowel:
  • kid → lid; bid → skid; did → hid
  • hid → had; lid → led; did → dad
  • kid → kit; lid → lip; did → dim

Read and write target words

• Hold up the -id word cards and help the children read the words.
• Have the children choose a word card, read it, and see if they can skid it.
• As a class, write an account of what you did. (e.g.; We got to skid lids. The red lid slid the best.)
