Lesson Activities

  1. Sound Scavenger Hunt: Go on a sound scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the sounds “eh,” “nuh,” and “kuh.” For example, you might find an “egg” for “eh,” a “napkin” for “nuh,” and a “key” for “kuh.” Share what you find with a friend or family member!

  2. Sound Art: Create a piece of art using the letters “E,” “N,” and “K.” Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw pictures of things that start with each letter. For example, draw an “elephant” for “E,” “noodles” for “N,” and “kite” for “K.” Display your artwork in a special place!

  3. Sound Storytime: With a grown-up, make up a short story using words that start with “E,” “N,” and “K.” For example, “Eddie the Elephant and Nancy the Noodle went on an adventure to learn karate.” Share your story with your class or family and see if they can spot the words that start with the sounds you learned!
