Today we read the story, “The Yellow Car”. Here is our relevant craft activity.
Here are some conversation ideas to use during or after the craft activity.

“Why do cars have wheels?”

 

“Can a real car every feel sad?”

 

“What do you like about cars?”

 

“What sounds do a car make?”

 

 

“Cars come in many different colours. Why is that?”

 

 

“Can a car take a shower? How do we keep our cars clean?”

(Here’s a good chance to get them to wash your car for you. =p)

 

“Is a plane a car?”

 

 

“Is a truck a car?”

 

 

I didn’t fill in answers for these because I didn’t think you would need them so much.

 

Today’s activity.
1.Write these words clearly in large letters on a sheet of paper.

“Car”

“Truck”

“Plane”

“Automobile”

2.Show them the word car.

3.Ask them “Do you know what word this is?” (If yes then *)  (If no then carry on)

4.Tell them, “This is the word, ‘car’.”

5.Read it to them.

6.Have them repeat the word and let them hold the paper.

7.Put the four papers infront of them and tell them to bring the word “Car” to you.

8.You can go through the individual letters for the word and spell it out with them.

9.Let them try to write the word ‘car’

* If this is too easy for your kids, you can pick one of the other words instead. (Some of them know the word ‘car’ fairly well already.)
