State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will take turns twirling the letter T as they listen for words that start with the /t/ sound, such as twirl, toss, turn, and time.

Literacy Activities
Twirl, toss, and turn the T 

• Pass out an uppercase letter T to each child, and have the children sit in a circle around the T-shaped spinner. 
• Read the /t/ Actions target text, point out that each of the actions start with the /t/ sound, and have the children try each of the actions. 
• Explain that the children will each have a turn twirling the spinner to see what action everyone will do together. 
• Ask a child to twirl the spinner by saying, “It’s your turn to twirl the T” and have the rest of the children say, "It's T time!" when the spinner stops.
• Invite the children to perform matching /t/ action in the text. 
• Play the game so each child has a turn to twirl the spinner. 
• Review all the words that start with /t/ with the children.
• Reward all of the children with a tasty treat (optional).

More Practice 
Recognize the /t/ sound
Ask the children to listen for words that start with the /t/ sound as you say a variety of words (e.g., time, top, block, tree, house, tin, try).
Tell the children to touch their toes every time they hear a word that begins with the /t/ sound, supporting as necessary.
If a word doesn’t start with /t/ then they should sit still.
