What to do
- Place all images/drawings/representations of words on a rug or board.
- Today, we are going to play a game called “Label It” where we will get to label pictures of words you already know. I am going to give each student five words that are written on post-its. You will get to come up to one of the pictures and label it with the correct word on your post-it. For example, you might have the word “bag.” You will walk up to the board and find the picture of the word “bag” and then put your post-it on the picture. Each student gets to go to the board five separate times to label a picture.
- Model using a post-it word and finding its picture among the collection of images. Put the post-it on the picture.
- Everyone will go the board one at a time. We will all watch and cheer on our fellow readers each time they correctly match the picture and word. Let’s play!
- Call each student up individually and guide the student if necessary. Remind students to encourage their fellow readers. Play for five separate rounds.
- Good job, class. Let’s review our words we’ve learned.
- Review the pictures and word cards with the whole class.
- You successfully read regular words and matched them with their pictures. Way to go, readers!
- Observe students play the game. For students who struggle, give them help and make a note in an Activity Log.
