Literacy Activities
Making Drip Art 

  • Cover a table with newspaper or a tablecloth that can get stained.
  • Distribute paint, paper plates, paper, and scissors.
  • Allow the children to wear an apron (optional).
  • Read Tips for Making Drip Art target text with the children and have the children follow the steps in the text to create their art:
    • Help the children squirt a little bit of paint onto each of the paper plates.
    • Ask the children to tear a small strip off of a piece of paper.
    • Have the children to cut off the tip of one side of the strip of paper (if possible, cut the strip at an angle so that there is a point at the end).
    • Invite the children to dip the tip of their paper strip into their paint.
    • Allow the children to make drip art by holding the tip of the paper strip over a sheet of paper so that the paint drips onto the sheet 
    • Have the children say, “Drip! Drip! Drip!” each time they let paint drip onto their paper.
  • Help the children read words.
  • Allow the children to create drip art on the word cards.

More Practice
Identify, blend and manipulate sounds

  • With word blending cards, have the children make new words by changing the vowel or either of the consonants:
    • Change the beginning sound: dip → tip; sip → rip; lip → hip
    • Change the ending sound: dip → did; sip → sit; rip → rib
    • Change the middle sound: sip → sap; rip → rap; tip → tap

Read target words in texts

  • Engage the children in reading the target text Tips for Making Drip Art together with the group. 
    • Have the children underline the words in the text that end with –ip.
    • Read the text again fading support.

Write target words

  • Have children identify the beginning, middle and ending sounds of words by tapping their shoulder (beginning), their elbow (middle) and fingers (end) (e.g., lip = /l/ tap shoulder, /i/ tap elbow, /p/ tap fingers).
    • dip = /d/ /i/ /p/
    • rip = /r/ /i/ /p/
    • sip = /s/ /i/ /p/
  • Have the children write the words then allow them to drip paint on their words (optional).
