ALLITERATION

Hooray!  Hooray!
It's Facebook Wednesday.
See you at Five this afternoon!

Which One Doesn't Belong?
Say a series of words that begin with the same sound. Say one word that does not begin like the others. Children listen and identify the word that does not belong. 
 For example: sun, sand, top, see (top); boy, house, big, ball (house)

Bappy Birthday
Sing the birthday song by inserting the first sound in the child’s name for each word. For example, Beth’s birthday song would be:
          Bappy birthday bo bou…

*You can also insert the sound that the child’s name begins with in “Tooty Ta” and “Batman.”

Hint! If their first name begins with a vowel, use the first sound of their last name or middle name.

Hand Phone
Have children cup one hand around their ear and the other hand in front of their mouth. The teacher says a series of words that begin with the same sound as the children repeat.

Marvelous Monday
Think of adjectives for the days of the week and months of the year. 
For example: Thrilling Thursday or Marvelous May.

Songs
Sing “Pepperoni Pizza”, “Bubble Gum”, and other songs where alliteration is emphasized.
          Pepperoni Pizza
          I like to eat, eat, eat,
          Pepperoni pizza.
          I like to eat, eat, eat,
          Pepperoni pizza.
          Bi bike bo beat, beat, beat
          Bepperoni bizza...
          Mi mike mo meat, meat, meat
          Mepperoni mizza…
          Li like lo leat, leat, leat,
          Lepperoni lizza…
          Ri rike ro reat, reat, reat,
          Repperoni rizza...
          Zi zike zo zeat, zeat, zeat,
          Zepperoni zizza...
          Yi yike yo yeat, yeat, yeat,
          Yepperoni yizza...

*Use this song for other consonants and vowels.

          Gumball
          I put a penny in the gum slot.
          I watched the gum roll down.
          I get the gum and you get the wrapper,
          Cause I put the penny in the gum slot.

Sing substituting the initial consonant sound of each word with “B,” “N,” “P,” “G,” “L,” and “F.”
                                
                       
Activities: Cut out paper gumball machines and write different letters from the song on 
them. Substitute other consonants, blends, and diagraphs in this song.
