State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will make crazy caps as they listen for words that start with the /k/ sound, such as color, cut, and candles. 

Literacy Activities
Create a crazy /k/ cap

• Show the children each of the picture cards or /k/ sound items, and emphasize the /k/ sound as you help them identify the pictures or items.
• Have the children take turns stating the item name and attaching the item or card to your hat with tape as the whole class says, “We put ___ (e.g., carrots) on the /k/ /k/ /k/ crazy cap!”

Caps for the kids

• Cut out circles, then cut a slit in the circles from the edge of the circle to the center of the circle so it can be wrapped to form a shallow cone after it is decorated. 
• Give each child one of the paper circles and explain that this circle is going to become their cap.
• Let the children draw, color and cut out /k/ objects for their cap.
• Allow the children to glue confetti, cotton balls, cards, curls and other /k/ objects on their caps (optional).
• Show them how to wrap and tape the paper circle to make a shallow cone (cap).
• Invite the children to show and tell a classmate three things that they have on their cap that start with the /k/ sound.

More Practice
Repeat words with the target letter

• Have the children sit in a circle and carefully put their caps on their heads.
• Invite the children to take turns around the circle saying one of the items on their cap and clapping their hands.
• Tell them to carefully carry their hats to their cubbies (optional).
