Literacy Activities
Wrap a cap
- Have the children sit in a circle with the bottle caps placed in the middle.
- Teach the children the "Wrap a Cap" song.
- Tell the children that when you start clapping they can choose a bottle cap then return to their place in the circle.
- Clap until all the children have a bottle cap.
- Sing the "Wrap a Cap" song together as the children try to wrap their caps with ribbon and put the caps in their laps before the song is over.
- Once the song is over, clap as the children unwrap their caps, return them to the middle, and choose new ones.
- Invite the children to tap their bottle caps on the desk or floor and change "wrap a cap" to "tap a cap" as they sing the song again.
- Clap as the children change bottle caps again, then sing and act out one of the action words (the children will need two bottle caps to act out clap).
- Repeat the activity as many times as desired.
More Practice
Produce words that rhyme with cap
- Remind the children of the words they played with (cap, wrap, clap, tap).
- Give a child a bottle cap to hold in their lap while they think of a word that rhymes with cap (support as needed).
- After he or she thinks of a rhyming word, have the child pass the cap to the next child, and repeat until all of the children have had a turn to say a word that rhymes with cap.
Recognize rhyming words
- Have the children repeat a set of two words (e.g., cap, wrap).
- Ask the children to show you thumbs up with the words rhyme and thumbs down if the words do not rhyme (support as needed).
- Repeat with other sets of words: (e.g., clap, gap; flap, map; tap, cat; nap, sap; trap, flap; snap, truck; strap, zap).
