Diphthong Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house or classroom to find objects or pictures that have diphthong sounds in their names. For example, look for a “toy” for the “oy” sound or a “boat” for the “oa” sound. Share your findings with your friends and see who can find the most diphthongs!
Diphthong Art Project: Create a piece of art that represents a diphthong sound. Choose one diphthong, like “ow” or “au,” and draw or craft a picture that includes words with that sound. For example, draw an “owl” in a “brown” tree or a “sauce” bottle next to an “August” calendar. Display your artwork and explain the diphthong sounds to your classmates.
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen for diphthong sounds in your favorite storybook or during a conversation. Each time you hear a diphthong, raise your hand and say the sound out loud. Keep track of how many diphthongs you can find in one day. Can you find more than five?
