Hello, friends! I’m your fun exercise buddy, Jack Hartmann! Are you ready to sing, move, and learn? Today, we’re going to have a blast learning letter sounds while we exercise. Let’s get started!
First, let’s stretch up high to the sky! Reach, reach, reach! Now, let’s tap our knees to the beat. Tap, tap, tap! Twist your hips, just like this. Twist, twist, twist! We’re ready to workout and learn letter sounds!
Let’s stretch to the left for the letter, to the middle for the sound, and to the right for a word. Ready?
Great job! Let’s keep moving!
Put your hands on your shoulders for the letter, on your waist for the sound, and on your knees for a word. Let’s go!
You’re doing awesome! Let’s keep the fun going!
Pump both arms up for the letter, down for the sound, and one arm strong for a word. Let’s do it!
Wow, you did it! Let’s stretch up high to the sky one more time. Tap your knees to the beat and twist your hips. You’re amazing!
That was so much fun! Exercising with letter sounds helps us learn to read and write. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a superstar reader in no time!
Letter Sound Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letters A to Z. For example, find an apple for ‘A’, a book for ‘B’, and a cup for ‘C’. Once you find an object, say the letter, the sound it makes, and the name of the object. This will help you connect the letter sounds with real-world items!
Create Your Own Letter Sound Dance: Make up a dance move for each letter sound from A to Z. For example, you can jump for ‘J’, kick for ‘K’, or spin for ‘S’. Perform your dance moves while saying the letter and its sound. This activity will help you remember the sounds by associating them with fun movements!
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen carefully to the sounds around you. Can you hear the letter sounds in words people say or in the sounds of nature? For example, listen for the ‘B’ sound in “bird” or the ‘W’ sound in “wind”. Share what you discover with a friend or family member!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
