  1. Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the /tr/ sound. Can you find a toy truck or a train? Maybe there’s a tree outside! Make a list or draw pictures of the things you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member.

  2. Word Building with Blocks: Use letter blocks or cards to build words that start with “TR”. Try making words like “trap”, “trim”, and “trust”. Once you build a word, say it out loud and clap the sounds: /tr/ – /a/ – /p/ for “trap”. How many “TR” words can you build?

  3. Story Time Adventure: Create a short story using as many “TR” words as you can. Maybe it’s about a tram that travels on a trail or a tricky trap in a trench. Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your class or family. How many “TR” words did you use?
