State the Objective
Tell the children that they will fit fins on fish as they recognize and name the letters F and f.

Literacy Activities 
Find the F fins

• Write and name the letters F and f. Tell the children that F makes the /f/ sound.
• Display the fish picture (see below) and point out that the fish is missing its fin. 
• Spread out the fins (see below) facedown. 
• Explain that some of the fins have the uppercase or lowercase letter F.
• Allow the children to take turns picking a fin.
• Decide together if the fin has an F or f on it. 

• Put the fins with F or f in a pile.

   

   

Fit the fins on the fish

• Add tape to the back of the F fins, blindfold a child, and let them try to fit the fin on the fish. 
• Have the other children chant, “Fit the fin!” loudly when the child is closer to the fish and quietly when the child moves farther away.
• Once the fin has been placed on the fish, have the child take off the blindfold.
• Let another child take a turn; repeat until all the F fins are on the fish.
• Say, “Now the fish have F fins!”

Write the target letter 

• Let the children write F and f on the fish picture.
