State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will yell and search for a bell as they recognize and produce words that rhyme with yell, such as bell, fell, sell, and well. 

Literacy Activities
Tell, tell, who has the bell?

• While sitting in a circle, choose one child to blindfolded and stand in the middle of the circle.
• Give the bell or bell graphic (see below) to a different child, let them ring the bell, then hide it under his or her legs.  
• When the child in the middle hears the bell, un-blindfold him or her while all the other children yell (chant) together, “Tell, tell, who has the bell?” 
• Let the child in the middle guess who has the bell based on where he or she heard the sound. 
• Once the bell is found, have everyone yell, “You found the bell. All is well!” 
• Repeat the game, changing who is blindfolded and who has the bell. 

Pass the bell and tell a rhyme

• Help the children think of several words that rhyme with bell, such as gel, tell, smell, sell, and well.
• Have the children sit in a circle and tell them that they can ring the bell after they tell you a word that rhymes with bell.
• Pick a child to start the game, and invite the children to say, “Tell, tell, what rhymes with bell?”
• Help the child who has the bell think of a rhyming word to say, then let him or her ring the bell.
• Continue around the circle, helping each child to think of a word that rhymes with bell.
