State the Objective: 
Tell the children that they will clean a bean and generate words that rhyme with green, such as queen, lean, and seen.

Literacy Activities:

Clean the Bean

  • Put pieces of play dough on the picture of a bean, or put the bean in a page protector and color green spots on it with the marker.

     

  • Use the strips of paper to attach the crown to your head.

     

  • Introduce yourself to the children as the Queen of Clean and show them the bean.

     

  • Tell the children that you are hungry and want to eat the bean, but it is not clean.

     

  • Invite the children to clean a spot of green off the bean individually.

     

  • Make comments such as the following:

     

    • The queen of clean does not like green on the bean.

       

    • Have you ever seen green on a bean?

       

    • Make the lean bean clean!

       

  • After each spot is removed, ask the children if the bean is clean. 

     

  • Repeat until there are no green spots left on the bean. 

     

Finding Rhyming Words

  • Ask the children students if they can think of any other words that rhyme with queen.

     

  • If needed, ask guiding questions (e.g., does seen rhyme with bean?) 

     

  • Make a list of words that rhyme with -een on the whiteboard or chart paper (e.g., seen, Halloween, between, mean).

  • Make up silly sentences with -een words from the activity and from the list (e.g., The mean bean wore green on Halloween”).
