Overview
The children will make a bird the best dressed guest at a party as they recognize and produce words that rhyme with best, such as guest, nest, and dressed.
Literacy Activity
The best dressed guest above the rest
- Talk with the children about what it means to be a guest at a party and how we want to look our best when we are invited somewhere.
- Show the children the bird graphic, and tell them that the bird was invited to a party at a fancy nest and needs their help to be the best dressed guest there
- Have one child at a time come and choose a feather to put on the bird while the rest of the children say together, “She will be the best dressed guest in the nest!”
The Best Rhyme test
- Give a feather to each child.
- Mix up the picture cards and hold up two for the children to see.
- Ask the children to test if the two pictures rhyme by saying the two words aloud (e.g., best, vest; dressed, box).
- If the cards pass the rhyme test, have the children hold up their feather and say, “Dressed and best passed the test!”
- If the cards don’t rhyme, have them rest their feather in their lap.
- Repeat by mixing up the cards or coming up with your own words to test.
