State and model the objective
Tell the children they are going to eat P things off of pink (or purple) plates, practice saying "please," and listen for words beginning with the /p/ sound. 

Practice the skill within an activity
Please pass the P

• Have children sit in a circle.
• Show children the P food items or picture cards and introduce each one by placing them on a plate and say “We have p___ on our plate.”
• Tell children to raise their hands and say, “May I please have a pink (or purple) plate.” Hand each child a plate once they ask.
• Demonstrate how to request different P food items or picture cards by saying, “Please pass the p___.” Go around the circle and allow each child to ask for one P food item or picture card.
• When each child has had a turn to ask for a P food item or picture card, pretend to be at a party and eat the P food.

Apply the skill
Clap out sounds in words 

• Have the children take apart the word pass and clap once for each sound in the word (/p/ /a/ /s/).
• Ask the children how many times they clapped for the word pass (3).
• Clap for each sound in the word pass again to reinforce the model.
• Repeat with other words that start with /p/ (e.g., pick, pot, pen, pear, put).
• Point out that all of the words start with the /p/ sound.
