Jake's Cake 

  • Choose a child to play the role of Jake and wear the “Jake” name tag (see below). 
  • Using the chart below, tell the story and have the children perform the corresponding actions. 
  • Repeat the story as many times as desired, allowing other children to play the role of Jake.

 

Say: Discussion/Do:
Here is Jake. He is sleeping. We must wake Jake. Wake up, Jake, wake up. Have children try to wake up Jake.
Jake is awake! Now we want Jake to make us cake. We want a cake to take. Jake, please make a cake for us to take to the lake. Have children beg Jake to make a cake saying, "Make a cake, Jake!" 
Jake will bake a cake. Jake will bake a cake to take. Jake will bake a cake to take to the lake. Have Jake put on the chef's hat (optional) and pretend to make and bake a cake as the children cheer, "Bake a cake, Jake!"
Oh, Jake did make a cake! It is a great cake. Jake did bake and make a cake for us to take to the lake. Show the cake or picture of the cake. 
We will take Jake's cake to the lake. We will eat the cake with Jake at the lake. Yum! Jake can bake a really great cake.  Have the children pretend to eat cake, or give them some cake to enjoy. 
  • Help the children recall what words from the story rhyme with cake

Take the cake across the lake

  • Spread out the blue blanket or paper in the middle of the room and have the children make two lines across the lake from each other. 
  • Ask a child to tell you a word that rhymes with cake (support as needed), so they can cross the lake with the cake or a picture of a cake on a plate. 
  • Encourage the other children to chant “Take the cake!” as their classmate carries the cake across the lake. 
  • Once the child has crossed the lake, have him or her hand the plate to the next child, and go to the end of that line.
  • Repeat, allowing all the children to say a word that rhymes with cake, then take the fake cake across the lake. 

More Practice
Recognize rhyming words 

  • Have the children repeat a set of two words (e.g., cake, make
  • Ask the children to show you thumbs up if the words rhyme and thumbs down if the words do not rhyme. 
  • Repeat with other sets of words (e.g., Jake, bake; fake, lake; rake, horse; sake, wake; stake, quake; flake, truck).
