Let’s have fun with a song called “I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas”! This song helps us learn about different sounds in words, especially the sounds that vowels make. Let’s see how this song can help us learn and have fun at the same time!
Sounds are what we hear when we talk. Learning about sounds is important because it helps us say words correctly. The song “I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas” is a fun way to learn about different vowel sounds. Vowels are the letters A, E, I, O, and U. Let’s see how the song changes these sounds!
The song starts with the line, “I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas.” We can change the vowel sounds in “apples” and “bananas” to make new funny words. Let’s try it!
A Sound: We start with the “A” sound. “Apples” becomes “aeples” and “bananas” stays “bananas.” Listen to how the “A” sound changes the word!
E Sound: Next, we use the “E” sound. “Apples” becomes “eeples” and “bananas” becomes “banenes.” Can you hear the difference?
I Sound: Now, let’s try the “I” sound. “Apples” turns into “iples” and “bananas” becomes “baninis.” Isn’t that fun?
O Sound: With the “O” sound, “apples” changes to “oples” and “bananas” to “banonos.” Listen to the new sounds!
U Sound: Finally, we use the “U” sound. “Apples” becomes “uples” and “bananas” turns into “banunus.” What a silly sound!
Learning about sounds helps us read and write better. When we know how to hear and change sounds, we can read words more easily and spell them correctly. Singing songs like “I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas” helps us learn these important skills.
The song “I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas” is a fun way to learn about vowel sounds. By singing and playing with sounds, we can become better at reading and writing. Let’s keep singing and learning, and enjoy the wonderful world of words!
Vowel Sound Hunt: Go on a vowel sound hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that have the same vowel sound as in the song. For example, for the “A” sound in “apples,” you might find a “hat” or “cat.” Share your findings with a friend or family member and try to make a funny sentence using those words.
Sound Swap Game: Play a game where you swap the vowel sounds in your name or your favorite words. For example, if your name is “Sam,” try saying it with an “E” sound like “Sem” or with an “O” sound like “Som.” How does it sound? Try it with other words and see how many funny new words you can create!
Vowel Sound Art: Create a piece of art that represents each vowel sound. Draw or cut out pictures of things that start with the same vowel sound, like an “apple” for “A” or an “umbrella” for “U.” Arrange them on a piece of paper and label each one with the vowel sound it represents. Share your artwork with the class and explain the sounds you chose!
