Our phonics skill last week was ou/ow. I found this cute activity on TPT called Ouch! What Happened to the Teacher? It was a fun way to review the ou/ow sound and work on predictions. I started it off by having my hand wrapped up in a bandage when the kids came into the room.
I told the kids that they were going to work with partners and do some predicting to figure out what happened to me. I gave the clues that were in the packet that I got and they gave predictions as to what happened to me.
We discussed their predictions and the sound ou/ow makes and then each one of them got a band aid. They wrote ou/ow on their band aids and then put them on. They had a good time posing for a picture with their sad/hurt faces to show off their ouchies!
We finished up by practicing the ou/ow sound by playing the TPT games of connect four with ou/ow words.
Have a great upcoming week!
