State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will feel and fold fuzz as they listen for words that start with the /f/ sound, such as fold, fleece, and frenzy.

Literacy Activities
Feel, fold, and flip the fuzz

• Read The Great Fuzz Frenzy by Janet Stevens to the children (optional).
• Have the children sit in a circle and give each child a piece of fuzz from the folder, pointing out that the word fuzz starts with the /f/ sound.
• Let the children feel the fuzz on their face, feet, fingers, and forehead, and have them echo those words back to you, emphasizing the /f/ sound. 
• Show the children how to do different /f/ actions with their fuzz (e.g., make the fuzz fall, feel the fuzz, fold the fuzz, flip the fuzz, freeze with the fuzz), then have the children do the actions.
• Allow the children to choose one of the /f/ actions for the class to do with their fuzz.
• Ask the children to listen as you say several /f/ words mixed with a few non-/f/ words and have them tap the fuzz on their forehead when they hear a word that starts with the /f/ sound, supporting as necessary.

More Practice
March and say the sounds in words 

• Have the children march in place as they say each sound of the word fuzz as follows:
  • segment sounds: say /f/ (march right), say /u/ (march left), say /z/ (march right)
  • blend sounds: jump with both feet and say fuzz to blend the sounds into the whole word
• Repeat with other words that start with /f/ (e.g., fun, feel, fall, fan, feed).
