Lesson 9
Kindergarten - Grade 3
Review the unit’s sentence with the
students. Use the Unit’s Sentence for
the following activities.
• Hop The Line
Basic Listening
Make a masking tape line on the floor. Have the students stand on
the line - their toes touching the masking tape line. Have the stu -
dents listen for a spe cific sentence (i.e., the Unit’s Sentence with a
vocabulary word). Say a number of other sentences - eventually
repeating the sentence you said at the beginning of the round.
When the students hear that sentence, they must hop to the other
side of the line. When the students hop to the other side of the line,
they should then turn around and place their toes on the line once
again. Repeat this pro cess using the Unit’s Sentence with all of the
vocabulary words.
• Match My Half
Basic Speaking
Cut the vocabulary illustrations in half. Keep one half of each il -
lustration and give the remaining halves to the students. Hold up
one of your illustra tion halves. The student who has its matching
half must show his/her half and say the Unit’s Sentence and vocabulary
word for the illus tration. Repeat this pro cess until all students
have responded.
• Your Number Is Up!
Provide each student with ten blank flashcards. Each student
should then write one number on each of his/her cards, using the
num bers zero to nine - one number per card. When the students'
number cards are ready, they should turn their cards over on their
desks (face down). Then, each student should turn one card face
up. Call a number between zero and nine. Any stu dent or students
who have that number face up on their desks must iden tify a vocabulary
illus tration you point to, using the unit’s sentence. Then, those
number cards should be placed to the side and other number cards
turned over. The winner or win ners of this activity are those stu -
dents who have no number cards left on their desks.
• The Other Half
Grade 4 - Grade 6
Basic Writing
Cut each of the sight words in half. Give each student a sheet of
writing paper, a pen and one of the word-halves. Each student
should glue the word-half on his/her writing paper and then complete
the spelling of the word. You may wish to have enough wordhalves
prepared so that each student completes more than one
word. Af terwards, review the students' responses.
• Numbered Illustrations
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard and number
each illustration. Provide each student with writing paper and a
pen. Call the number of an illustration. Each student should write
the vocabu lary word for the illustration represented by that number.
Repeat until all vocabulary words for the illustra tions have been
written. Review the students' responses.
• Word Completion
Before the activity begins, prepare clozure cards for the sight
words; omit letters and syllables. Provide each student with a
clozure card. Call upon the students to complete their words on the
clozure cards by writing-in the missing parts. Afterwards, re view the
students' responses.
• Every Second Letter
Write a sight word on the chalkboard, omitting every second let ter.
Provide the students with writing paper and pens. The students
should look at the incomplete word on the chalkboard and then
write the sight word for it on their papers. Repeat using other sight
words.
This activity may also be done in team form. In this case, have the
incomplete words prepared on separate flash cards. Mount one of
the cards on the chalkboard. When you say "Go," the first player
from each team must rush to the chalkboard and write the sight
word for it - adding all of the missing letters. Repeat until all players
have participated.
