One Little Sound: Fun with Phonics And Numbers .
Subject:
'OP' word family o
Initial consonants: B, H, P, M, O o
Blends: CH, FL.
Vocabulary:
hop, mop, chop, bop (dancing to jazz music), pop (to move suddenly, quickly; to explode or burst), flop, (to fall or drop limply, heavily) short 'O' sound
Activity:
(Teacher places the letters 'OP' on the board.) Who can think of a word that ends with the sound /op/? (Teacher lists words then circles any words that will be used in this song.) Let's try a fun way to play "freeze dance." When the music plays, do the motion that ends with OP. Stop moving when the music stops and listen for the next motion.
Well let's bop, bop, 'til we drop
Dance 'til we hear the music stop
Bop, bop, 'til we drop
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
Let's hop, hop, 'til we drop
Hop 'til we hear the music stop
Hop, hop, 'til we drop
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
With the short O sound and the letter P
We can do so much it's plain to see
Let's pop, pop 'til we drop
Like kernels of corn on a hot stove top
Pop, pop 'til we drop
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
Let's mop, mop 'til we drop
The floor's all sticky with slop and glop
Mop, mop til we drop
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
With the short O sound and the letter P
We can do so much it's plain to see
Let's chop, chop til we drop
Pile logs in the shed right up to the top
Chop, chop til we drop
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
Let's flop, flop til we drop
Like Raggedy Ann dolls in a toy shop
Flop, flop til we drop
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
Let's /h/ op 'H' 'O' 'P', /p/ op 'P' 'O' 'P', /m/ op 'M' 'O' 'P',
/ch/ op 'C' 'H' 'O' 'P', /fl/ op 'F' 'L' 'O' 'P', /b/ op 'B' 'O' 'P',
Well let's bop, bop, 'til we drop
Dance 'til we hear the music stop
Bop, bop, 'til we drop
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
Everything we do ends 'O' 'P' op
