ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Word ‘Get’ | Sight Words | Learn to Read with Khan Academy Kids
The word “get” is spelled G-E-T. It’s a simple word, but it has an important meaning. When you use the word “get,” it means to receive something. For example, if you get a gift, it means someone has given you something special.
Every year on my birthday, I get a board game. It’s always exciting because I can’t wait to play it with my friends. Receiving a new board game is a fun way to celebrate my special day!
So, remember, when you hear or see the word “get,” think about receiving something. It could be a gift, a message, or even a new experience. Isn’t it fun to get something new?
Gift Exchange Activity: Organize a small gift exchange in the classroom. Each child can bring a small, wrapped item from home (like a toy or a book) to give to a classmate. After the exchange, ask each child to describe what they “got” and how it made them feel. This activity helps children understand the concept of receiving and the joy of giving.
Observation Journal: Encourage the children to keep a “Get Journal” for a week. Each day, they can write or draw something they received, such as a hug, a compliment, or a new piece of knowledge. At the end of the week, discuss as a class how receiving different things made them feel and what they learned from the experience.
Role-Playing Game: Set up a role-playing scenario where children act out different situations involving the word “get.” For example, one child can pretend to “get” a letter in the mail, while another “gets” a new pet. After each scenario, discuss what was received and how it changed the character’s day. This helps children explore the various contexts in which “get” can be used.
