State the Objective 
Tell the children that they will fill a funny frame as they listen for things that start with the /f/ sound, such as fit, fish, full, and frame.
 

Literacy Activities
Fill a funny frame

• Write Ff or use the Ff page (see below).
• Place the Ff page inside the funny frame 
• Explain that F makes the /f/ sound and have the children make the /f/ sound.
• Show each picture card (see below) to the children, inviting them to emphasize the /f/ sound by saying, "/f/ /f/ /f/ ___ (e.g., fish)."
• Have the children choose a picture card to stick in the funny frame.
• Say together, “A ___ (e.g., fish) fits in our funny frame.”
• Repeat with the rest of the picture cards or until the funny frame is full.

Recognize and produce the target sound

• Have the children list the things they put in the funny frame as you write them.
• Use words from the list to say in the sentence, “We fit a ___ (e.g., frog) in the funny frame.”
• Say the sentence with the children and have them touch a finger to their forehead every time they hear a word that begins with the /f/ sound.
