Dinosaur Egg Phoneme Chopping Game
This is a phonemic awareness game I created for my kindergarten student teaching classroom during their unit on dinosaurs. We would play this game during our circle time on the carpet. I filled each egg with a picture card. The students would pass around the "dinosaur nest" and take turns picking one egg from the "nest." They would then open the egg and let the rest of the class know what the picture was inside of their egg. While playing the game, the class would sing: "Put your hand in the nest and what do you see. It's a ________ looking back at me, come on everybody chop its sounds with me." They would then chop the sounds on their arm. To add a little excitement, I put plastic dinosaurs in some of the eggs. When a dinosaur was inside an egg, they would all stand up and roar.
