  • Munch: pretend to munch
  • Crunch: pretend to crunch
  • Bunch: pretend to bunch together carrots or grapes 
• Involve the children in a crunch cheer (e.g., “We like to crunch and munch! Crunch and munch lunch! Crunch and munch a bunch! Crunch and munch our lunch!”). 

Produce words that rhyme with crunch

• Ask the children to think of a word that rhymes with crunch.
• Suggest words that rhyme with crunch (e.g., “How about lunch? Does lunch rhyme with crunch?" Nod yes).

Recognize rhyming words 

• Ask the children to show thumbs up if two words rhyme (e.g., crunch, lunch) and thumbs down if the words do not rhyme.
• Repeat with other sets of words (e.g., crunch, hunch; hunch, bunch; munch, food; lunch, table).
