Literacy Activities
Decorate a plain chain
- Cut out the picture cards (see below) and place them in a bowl or bag.
- Show the children the plain chain and explain that they will be helping to decorate it with things that rhyme with chain (e.g., train, plane, brain, rain, cane).
- Have a child choose a picture card and help him or her identify it.
- Ask the children if the picture card rhymes with chain.
- If it rhymes, have children chant phrases like, "Put the train on the plain chain!" as you tape it onto the chain.
- If it doesn’t rhyme, have the child say phrases like, "A book cannot go on our plain chain!" and place the card in a discard pile.
- Repeat until all the pictures have been sorted or until every child has had a turn.
- Hang the chain up in the classroom low enough for the children to see, if desired.
More Practice
Produce words that rhyme with chain
- Remind the children of words that rhyme with chain (e.g., plain, train, rain).
- Help the children think of other words that rhyme with chain (support as needed).
Rhyming with picture cards
- Lay out two picture cards showing words that rhyme with chain (e.g., train and rain) and one picture that does not rhyme with chain (e.g., cheese).
- Invite the children to help you identify the picture that does not rhyme.
- Remove the picture that does not rhyme with chain.
- Repeat with other sets of picture cards:
- train, plane, bat
- chain, brain, boat
- rain, cane, dog
