Lesson Plan

Target Words:

  • sell 
  • bell 
  • fell 
  • yell 
  • shell

Materials:

  • Trash can or bucket  
  • Picture cards*
  • Metal paper clips
  • Fishing pole (or a magnet attached to string on a stick)

*Items included below.

State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will fish out items from a well as they recognize and produce words that rhyme with well, such as sell, bell, shell, and fell.
 
Literacy Activities

  • Put the picture cards (see below) in the “well” (a trash can or a bucket).
  • Have the children take turns fishing the picture cards (see below) out of the well. 
  • When a child fishes out a card, help him or her decide if the card rhymes with well
    • If the card rhymes with well, have the children yell together, “A ___ (e.g., bell) fell in the well!” 
    • If the card doesn’t rhyme, have the child place it in a discard pile.
  • Repeat until all the children have had a turn. 

More Practice

  • Let each child pick a picture card that rhymes with well from a pile. 
  • Have the children remember their card, show their card to the other children, and drop it into the well.
  • When all of the children have dropped their cards into the well, mix the cards up.
  • Invite the children to pick a card from the well and say what the card is so the child who put it in the well can come get it.
  • As each child claims their card, have him or her say, “Oh swell! I got my ___ (e.g., bell) from the well!”
  • If desired, play a variation of the game again by adding in the non-rhyming cards.
