- 1–2 bags of Doritos® chips
- Pretend Doritos® chips, printed on orange paper
- Chip dip or pretend chip dip (e.g., play dough, colored water)
- Small bowls
- Plastic bag
Overview
The children will dip and dunk some Doritos® chips as they recognize and name the letter D.
Literacy Activities
Dip and dunk Doritos®
- Write the letter D on a whiteboard, name the letter, and have the children write the D in the air with their fingers.
- Pass out some Doritos® chips and bowls of dip (or paper chips and pretend dip), and point out that Doritos®s and dip both start with the letter D.
- Have one child at a time be the action leader and choose between three different ways to dip the Doritos®: dip (just the tip), dunk (all the way), or dig (scoop).
- Remind the children, “Don’t double dip!” if they get too excited, especially if using real chips and dip.
- The children will follow the action leader, do the chosen action with their Doritos® in the dip, and say the action as they do it (e.g. “Dip the Doritos®!”).
More Practice
Write the target letter
- Give each child a paper Doritos® chip, and have the children write the letter D all over their paper chip by copying the model letter from the board.
- Put a group of children’s paper Doritos® in a plastic bag labeled with the letter D. Then have the group deliver the Doritos® to a designated desk.
- Let each group of children dump their Doritos® out on the desk and design a letter D using the chips.
