Play Feet or Sleep with your kindergarten or first grade friends as a brain break and for them to practice attentive listening and hearing the long e sound in words.
The winter birds are getting ready to perch high in a tree for a little sleep but before they do they are going to walk about (on their feet) to find the last few worms to eat! When you hear me say a word that includes the long e sound, jump to your feet to get the worm. When my word does not include long e, you can curl up on the floor, asleep.
Here are some long e words to get you started:
- bee
- beach
- been
- beak
- beetle
- bean
- clean
- creek
- cream
- deep
- eat
- feet
- greet
- leap
- reach
- sheet
- sleep
- tree
- week
Call words at random so students have plenty of opportunity to alternate between standing and sitting, getting some movement into their morning session as well as developing essential literacy and listening skills!
