State and Model the Objective
The children will trace and place a face and practice saying words that rhyme with face, such as case, space, and place.  

Literacy Activities
Trace and place a face in a space

• Put the Face Case label (see below) on a container that has the face parts (see below) inside.
• Have the children trace the paper plate onto the paper in order to make an outline of a face.
• Invite the children to choose a face part from the container labeled Face Case.
• Ask the children if face and case rhyme.
• Have the children place their face part in an empty space of their traced face.
• Allow the children to choose three more face parts to place on their face.
• Tell the children to put glue or tape on the back of each face part and stick them onto the face.
• Help the children  make a list of all the words that rhyme with face that they heard throughout the activity (e.g., trace, case, space, place).

More Practice
Produce words that rhyme with face

• Remind the children of the words they played with (e.g., trace, face, case, place, space).
• Tell them you can think of other words that rhyme with face (e.g., chase, base, lace).  
• Ask each child to think of a word that rhymes with face (support as needed).

Recognize rhyming words 

• Have the children repeat a set of two words (e.g., face, trace).
• Ask the children to put their hands on their face if the words rhyme and to keep their hands down if the words do not rhyme. 
• Repeat with other sets of words: (e.g., space, place; race, cow; base, case; vase, door; chase, pace).
• If the children do not respond correctly, repeat the two words, emphasizing the ending sounds of the words.
