Lesson Plan
Concentration: Short O Words
Objective:
To
focus students' attention on rhyme
Activity:
This
activity is an adaptation of the traditional card
game Concentration.
Using short o words that the
students have practiced in their reading program; the teacher creates a deck of cards that contain short
o
rhyming word pairs. The cards are
placed in a grid-like pattern, face down in front of the students.
The first student flips over two cards.
If the two cards rhyme, the student gets to keep the pair and is allowed
to continue his/her turn. If the
two cards do not match, the next player takes his/her turn.
Play continues until all the pairs have been matched. The player with the most rhyming pairs wins.
Assessment: Test for rhyme detection and rhyme production.
