  1. Sound Hunt: Go on a “sh” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that have the “sh” sound at the beginning or end of their names. For example, you might find a shell or a brush. Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. How many can you discover?

  2. Story Time: Create a short story using as many “sh” words as you can. You can start with something like, “Once upon a time, a sheep went to the shop to buy a shirt.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the “sh” words!

  3. Art and Craft: Make a collage using pictures from magazines or drawings of things that have the “sh” sound. You can include pictures of a ship, shell, fish, and more. Display your collage and explain to someone why each picture is part of the “sh” sound family.
