State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will search for caramel cookies as they practice saying the /k/ sound in words that begin with the letter C, such as cook, caramel, cookies, and candy.

Literacy Activities
Find caramel cookies

• Prepare caramel cookies by following the recipe below.
• Place the cookies in plastic bags, hide them around the classroom, and have the children search to find them.
• Have the children chant, “/k/, /k/, /k/” as they search the classroom.
• When the children find a cookie, have them shout, “C for cookie” and allow them to crunch on their cookie.
• After all the cookies have been found, give each child a cookie graphic and have them write a letter C on the back of each card. 

More Practice
Read Cook and Clean

• Display the Cook and Clean target text so that the children can see it.
• Read the text together as a class.
• Allow the children to take turns pointing to all the Cs in the text while saying, "C says /k/."

Cool the Cookie (Similar to “Hot Potato”)

• Have the children sit in a circle.
• Set a timer for a short amount of time (less than 30 seconds).
• Place a cookie in a plastic bag and pass it around the circle.
• Each time a child gets the cookie, have him or her say, “/k/, /k/, cookie starts with C.”
• When the timer goes off, have the child who is holding the cookie step out of the circle.
• Continue until only one child remains as the winner.

Make a C design

• Give the children a circle C design page.
• Have the children place a letter C card on each space along the circle, saying the /k/ sound each time they place a new letter card.
