</div>### Introduction Activity (10 minutes)

##### Pass the Clap 

**How to Play:**

**Stand in a Circle**

- Have all the students stand in a circle with you.

**Start with a Clap**

- The teacher starts by clapping once while making eye contact with a student to their left or right.

**Pass It On**

- That student claps once and passes it to the next person in the circle by making eye contact and clapping.

**Speed It Up**

- After one round, try to make it go faster and faster without breaking the rhythm!

### Main Activity (60 minutes)

##### Echo the Blend (15 minutes) 

**How to Do It:**

**Teacher as the Leader**

- Stand in front of the class and say a vowel blend sound out loud, like:
- “ea says /ee/”
- “ou says /ow/”
- “oi says /oy/”
- “ay says /ay/”


**Students Echo It Back**

- The whole class repeats the vowel blend sound and action back to you.
- Teacher: “ea says /ee/!”
- Students: “ea says /ee/!”


#### Vowel Blend Rhythm Game (45 minutes) 

 **How to Do It:**

**Divide into Teams:**

- Split the students into 6 teams and name them after the vowel blends (ea team, ou team, oi team, etc.).
- Each team is responsible for one vowel blend.

**Create a Rhythm Pattern:**

- Each team must create a simple rhythm pattern using their vowel blend.
- For example:
- ea team → "Leaf, Read, Meat – Clap, Clap, Tap!"
- ou team → "Cloud, House, Mouse – Stomp, Clap, Stomp!"

- They can use claps, taps, stomps, or even small drums to make it fun.

**Team Performances:**

- All students sit in a circle.
- Each team performs their rhythm while saying their vowel blend words.
- Other teams listen and repeat.

 **Team Rotation:**

- After all teams perform, switch team names so each group gets a new vowel blend.
- Repeat the process, allowing each team to create new rhythms with their new blend.

**Final Round:**

- All teams perform together, blending all the vowel sounds into a fun class rhythm performance

### Follow-Up Activity (15 minutes) 

<p class="callout info">**Teacher:** **“Let’s tell a story to the children”**</p>

> **“Owl’s Day of Kindness – A Vowel Blend Adventure”**
> 
> Once in a forest, there lived a wise owl.  
> One day, it saw a kitten saying "meow".  
> She was lost near a house and didn’t know where to go.
> 
> The owl felt sorry for her and took her to his tree house.  
> He gave her a soft couch to rest and shared some warm meat.  
> Then, he gave her a book to read and even fixed her broken toy.  
> The kitten smiled and found a shiny coin lying under the table.
> 
> Later, it began to rain, and they sat near the window watching the clouds.  
> The kitten looked at the owl and said,  
> “You are my true friend.”
> 
> From that day on, they played together, shared stories, and helped anyone who needed a friend.

**Follow-up Suggestion:**

Ask students to listen carefully and identify the vowel blend words they heard. After , please ask the students to “write it down on your notebook “ Then, let each student pick a word and say it aloud with the blend sound emphasized.
