Overview
The children will play a game where they rock around the room to music as they add sounds to the –ock ending to make words such as rock, sock, lock, and clock

Literacy Activities
Rock around the room

  • Place the word cards in a sock, and place the four large picture cards (rock, clock, block, lock) in the four corners of the room.
  • Demonstrate the game:
    • Have everyone shout, “Tick-tock, time to rock!”  
    • Start the music, and have children “rock” (dance) around the room.  
    • When the music stops, have them stop at the nearest corner as quickly as they can.  
    • Draw a word from the sock and read it. Ask the children what sound(s) are at the beginning of the word (e.g.; “What sound(s) does block start with?”).
    • Have the children in the same corner as the word card chosen from the sock sit out until the next round.
    • Have everyone shout, “Tick-tock, time to rock!” again and repeat the game.
