State the Objective
Tell the children that they will do fast dances and flowing dances while listening for words that begin with the /f/ sound, such as freeze, flow, fall, and fast.

Literacy Activities 
Freeze and dance

• Explain that a frenzied dance is exciting and wild.
• Invite the children to dance to fast music in a frenzied (wild) way, and to dance to slow music in a flowing (slow and smooth) way.
• Turn on one of the styles of music for a minute, then stop the music and say, “Freeze!”
• Start the same music again or change styles and allow the children to resume dancing according to the style.

Follow the /f/ actions

• Have the children help you think of actions that begin with the /f/ sound (e.g., find a friend, flap your arms, flop on the floor).
• Let the children choose an action that starts with /f/, and do it fast or flowing, then saying “Freeze!”
• Review the /f/ words from the activity, emphasizing the /f/ sound. 

Repeat words with the /f/ sound 

• Make a list of the /f/ action words (e.g., flip, fold, flap).
• Say each word multiple times in a rhythmic way (e.g., “Flip, flip flip) and have the children echo the words. 
• Repeat the list together several times, varying speed or volume as desired.
