LEGO CVC Words Activity for Kindergarten
Servings: 0
Ingredients
- LEGO DUPLO train car
- LEGO single blocks
- A sharpie
- Sensory Bin or basket
Instructions
- Choose your word family.
- Pick out a LEGO DUPLO train car and on its side, using a sharpie, write a simple CVC word, one that your young reader is familiar with or one that’s new but easy to sound out.
- Next, grab three single blocks and write one letter of the CVC word on each block. So, if your word is 'cat', you'll have a block for 'c', another for 'a', and a third for 't'.
- Now it's time to set the stage for the activity. You can place the single blocks in a sensory bin or basket. You can fill with rice or lentils to add a tactile element to the learning process or simply put them in a basket.
- Encourage them to find and pick out each letter block and then place them on the LEGO DUPLO train, making a perfect match with the word displayed.
- As they find each letter, have them sound it out loud. This way, they're not just building a LEGO train but constructing a word, letter by letter, and sound by sound.
