Overview
The children will pretend to go on a trip as they recognize and produce words that rhyme with trip, such as skip, zip, flip, and tip.
Literacy Activities
Go on a trip
- Take the children on an imaginary trip where they copy your actions while standing in place or marching in a line around the room.
- Say, “Ready to go on a trip? We will do things that rhyme with trip.”
| Say: | Suggested Actions: |
|---|---|
| We will skip! Skip trip. Skip trip. Skip trip. | Have the students skip in a line or in place. |
| Now let's dip! Dip trip. Skip then dip. | Bend at the knees. |
| Do you ever trip and fall? Don't trip! | Pretend to trip and fall. |
| It's time to flip! Flip trip. Flip trip. | Hold out your arms like you are an airplane, and spin like you are flipping upside down. |
| Now we're on a ship! Take a ship trip, ship trip. | Pretend to paddle around in a boat. |
| Our ship is fast. It can zip! Ship zip! | Pretend the ship is sailing fast, and zip around quickly. |
| Oh no, the ship will tip! Tip ship! |
Lean to one side like the ship is tipping. |
- Say, “We went on a trip! We got to skip, flip, dip, zip, and tip!”
Ship Trip
- Give each child a picture of a ship and ask the children if their ships can do these things:
- dip
- flip
- tip
- zip
- Have the children do each action with their ships, emphasizing that each action rhymes with ship.
- Let each child have a turn giving an instruction that rhymes with ship.
More Practice
- Ask the children what words they heard in the activity that rhyme with trip and to think of other words that rhyme with trip (e.g., rip, sip, lip, nip).
- Have the children write the words on the board (support as needed).
- Review the list again, and have the children make a small rip in their ships every time a word that rhymes with trip is said.
