 There are some great kid words that start with the letter C. Who doesn't love cake and cars? A universal truth of kids in any country, speaking any language is that they love things that Go! When teaching the letter C, you can use toy cars for a variety of games. "Count the Cars", "Sort the Cars", and plain old "Play with the Cars" are all great filler letter C activities. When I teach the word comb, I also tie in some personal hygiene lessons, since we spend the first quarter of the year learning body parts as well. RHYMES Pat-a-Cake Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake, Baker Man Bake me a cake as fast as you can Roll it, Pat it, Mark it with a 'C' Put it in the oven for my friends and me! (I know, I know, I changed the lyrics a bit, but I want to use C as much as possible. Make sure to use lots of hand motions on this one!) Jolly Phonics - C We are clicking castanets /c/ /c/ /c/ We are clicking castanets /c/ /c/ /c/ We are clicking castanets, clicking castanets, We are clicking castanets /c/ /c/ /c/ (To the tune of "She'll be comin round the mountain." I hesitated to use this one, because I didn't even know what a castanet was! But I ordered one off Amazon and we all learned together. If you don't have access or funds to buy one, you can make your own) BOOKS Here is the book list for the letter C. They are some of my favorites from the whole year. We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar all year long, especially as we learn about food groups in the second quarter.
ACTIVITIES The coloring sheet helps reinforce the vocabulary they learned of words that start with the letter C. The C is for Clouds craft gives good tracing and gluing practice. You can print it on blue paper, like I did, or have them color or paint white paper first. They can trace the dotted lines and then fill in the clouds with cotton balls, tissue paper or torn pieces of white paper. Its such an easy craft idea that can be modified with whatever resources that you have. For older kids, use blank paper and let them make their own fun cloud shape, like in the book "Little Cloud" by Eric Carle.
