State and Model the Objective
Tell the children they will make bunches of things that go crunch and read and write words ending in -ch.

Literacy Activities
Hole punch and crunch a bunch

• Write the words hunch, punch, and crunch on the board, point out the -ch at the end of each word and explain that c and h together make the /ch/ sound. 
• Tell the children that the word ‘hunch’ means to make a guess, then tell the children that you have a hunch that a hole punch will make a crunch sound.
• Demonstrate how to punch holes in cardstock and make a crunch sound.
• Tell the children you also have a hunch that they could make a bunch of hole punches.
• Let the children take turns hole punching and making the crunch sound until they’ve made a bunch of punches.
• Tell the children you have a hunch that you could scrunch up all the holes they made with the hole punch.
• Dump out or collect the hole punched circles on a piece of paper, pointing out that there are a bunch, then scrunch them up inside the paper.
• Let the children punch holes then scrunch them up in scraps of paper.

Crunch and munch at lunch

• Show the children pictures of food items that go crunch (i.e. a bunch of celery, a bunch of pretzels, etc.).
• Have the children punch a hole in the celery, pretzel, and chip graphics because they all go crunch when you eat them.
• Put a string through the hole on each graphic then bunch and scrunch together the food that goes crunch.
• Tell children that they cannot munch on the paper food or the paper hole punches, but that you have a slice of apple (or another crunchy food) that they can munch (optional).
• Pass out apple slices and tell children to listen for the crunch when they munch on their apple slice.
• Make a list of other foods they could munch and crunch during lunch, showing them the lunch item graphics if they need ideas.

More Practice
Read target words in a text

• Read the I Have a Hunch target text together with the children.
• Read the text again fading support.
• Have the children underline the words that end in -ch.
• Make a list of the -ch words on a chart or on a board.

Write about the activity using target words/patterns

• Give each child a paper and pencil and have them write -ch words from dictation: punch, munch, crunch, scrunch, bunch, hunch, lunch, brunch.
• Have the children fill in incomplete sentences by picking from options presented verbally or in writing:
  • “I like to munch and crunch on…” (a bunch of carrots, a bunch of celery, a bunch of pretzels).
  • “I can make paper…” (bunch, scrunch, crunch).
  • “I have a hunch …” (the hole puncher will crunch, I will make a bunch of hole punches, the apple will go crunch, I can munch and crunch).
