Hey there, little friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning a new sound. Are you ready? Let’s go!
The sound we’re learning today is the ‘z’ sound. Can you say it with me? Z, z, z, z, z! Great job!
Let’s think of some words that start with the ‘z’ sound. How about “zebra”? Can you say “zebra”? Zebra, zebra, zebra! Zebras are black and white and live in the wild. They look like horses with stripes!
Another fun word is “zoo.” Can you say “zoo”? Zoo, zoo, zoo! A zoo is a place where you can see lots of different animals, like lions, elephants, and of course, zebras!
Now it’s your turn! Try saying the ‘z’ sound and the words “zebra” and “zoo” with your family or friends. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Keep listening for the ‘z’ sound in other words too. You’ll be a ‘z’ sound expert in no time!
Have fun learning, and see you next time!
Zoo Adventure: Create a mini zoo at home using toy animals or drawings. Ask the children to identify animals that might be found in a zoo. Encourage them to say the word “zoo” and the names of the animals, focusing on the ‘z’ sound. For example, “zebra” and “zoo.” This activity helps them connect the sound with real-world examples.
Zebra Stripes Art: Provide children with paper and black and white crayons or markers. Ask them to draw a zebra by making stripes on the paper. As they draw, encourage them to say “zebra” and emphasize the ‘z’ sound. This hands-on activity reinforces the sound while allowing them to express creativity.
Sound Detective: Go on a sound hunt around the classroom or home. Ask the children to listen carefully and find objects or words that have the ‘z’ sound. For example, they might hear a “buzz” from a bee or see a “zipper” on a jacket. This activity encourages active listening and application of the ‘z’ sound in everyday life.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
