State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will dip a chip and take a sip as they add sounds to the -ip ending to make words such as dip, sip, rip, chip, and tip. 

Literacy Activities
Dip chips in dip

• Pass out chips and dip in small bowls, and water in cups.
• Teach the children the following instructions on how to eat chips and dip, and have them repeat the instructions as they follow them.
  • Grip your chip.
  • Pick up a chip.
  • Dip the tip of your chip.
  • Put the chip to your lip. 
  • Eat the chip.
  • Take a sip from your cup. 
  • Take another sip and lick your lips.
• Help the children make a list of other -ip words by blending different sounds with the -ip ending (e.g., hip, lip, nip, rip, tip, zip).

Identify, blend and manipulate sounds

• Have children blend individual sounds into words by tapping their head (beginning sound) and toes (-ip sound) then have them clap to say the whole word.
  • d + ip = dip
  • s + ip = sip
  • t + ip = tip
  • r + ip = rip
• With word blending cards, have the children make new words by changing the vowel or either of the consonants:
  • Change the beginning sound: dip → sip; sip → tip; tip → rip
  • Change the ending sound: dip → did; sip → sit; rip → rib
  • Change the middle sound: sip → sap; rip → rap; tip → tap
