Lesson Plan and Procedure
Overview
The children will make a mess on a paper dress as they recognize and produce words that rhyme with dress, such as guess, mess, press, and less.
Literacy Activities
Guess who made the dress a mess
- Choose one child to be a guess maker who closes his or her eyes while you have another child quietly make a mess on a paper dress by drawing on it.
- Once the mess maker has made a mess on the dress, have the guess maker open his or her eyes.
- Have the rest of the children chant, “Guess, guess who made the dress a mess,” as the guess maker makes a guess.
- Repeat as many times as desired by having other children be the guess maker and mess maker.
- Point out that dress, guess, and mess all rhyme, and have the children repeat pairs that rhyme (e.g., dress, guess; dress, mess; dress, Bess; dress, yes).
