Overview
The children will pretend to take a trip on a ship as they recognize and produce words that rhyme with ship, such as trip, dip, flip, and drip. 

Literacy Activity

  • Read each word card, and demonstrate the action with a paper ship. 
  • Give each child a laminated paper ship and bowl of water.  
  • Have each child choose an action card and read it out loud. 
  • Invite the children to perform the selected action with his or her ship. 
  • Say each action as it is performed (e.g., Flip the ship!), encouraging the children to say it with you.

More Practice

  • Ask the children if they can remember words that rhyme with ship from the activity. 
  • Say two rhyming words, and ask the children to contribute a third rhyming word (e.g., say, “Trip and dip rhyme. What is another word that rhymes with dip?”).
