State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that you have prizes for each of them if they can prove they're a pro as they practice the /pr/ blend at the beginning of words.

Literacy Activities

• Explain to the children that today you are the prince/princess.
• Give each child a chance to prove they’re a “pro” at something. It can be singing a song, doing a dance, jumping, etc.
• If needed, use the picture/word cards to show the children example pictures of things they could be a “pro” at.
• Once children prove they are a “pro,” give them a prize as the prince/princess.
