Subject:
Blending individual phonemes to form words
Developing basic motor skills

Vocabulary:
Jump, turn, hop, clap, wiggle, tiptoe, yawn, march
borrow, dollar, one, two, three, zero, vowels

Activity:
The secret word tells you how to move, and the object of this game is to identify the word. You will hear the word in tiny little parts. Put the parts together and show in movement the meaning of the secret word. When the music stops, freeze. When the bell rings listen for the next word.


Have you heard the secret word?
Have you heard, have you heard?
Have you heard the secret word, do you know it?
If you listen to each part
Hear each sound right from the start
You will know when you string them all together
