Hi there! Today, we are going to learn a new word. The word is “had.” Can you say “had”? Great job!
“Had” is a word we use when we talk about something that happened before. For example, if you ate an apple yesterday, you can say, “I had an apple.”
Let’s try using “had” in a sentence. Imagine you played with a toy car yesterday. You can say, “I had fun with my toy car.”
Now, think about a time when you had ice cream. You can say, “I had ice cream on my birthday.”
Let’s play a game! I’ll say a sentence, and you can tell me if it happened today or before. Ready?
Let’s make learning fun with a little song! Sing with me:
“I had a toy, I had a snack, I had a nap, and now I’m back!”
You did an amazing job learning the word “had.” Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a sight word superstar!
Remember, learning new words helps us tell stories and share our adventures. Have fun using “had” in your sentences!
Memory Match Game: Create a set of cards with pictures and words. Some cards should have pictures of activities (like eating an apple, playing with a toy car, or having ice cream), and others should have the word “had” written on them. Mix them up and place them face down. Take turns flipping two cards at a time, trying to find a picture and the word “had” that go together. When you find a match, use “had” in a sentence to describe the picture, like “I had an apple.”
Story Time Adventure: Gather in a circle and take turns telling a short story about something you did yesterday using the word “had.” For example, “Yesterday, I had a picnic with my family.” Encourage everyone to listen carefully and ask questions about each other’s stories. This will help you practice using “had” and learn more about your friends’ adventures.
Draw and Share: Draw a picture of something you “had” fun doing recently. It could be playing a game, eating a favorite food, or visiting a special place. Once you’ve finished your drawing, share it with the group and describe your picture using the word “had.” For example, “I had fun playing at the park.” This activity helps you connect the word “had” with your personal experiences.
