Materials, Supplies, Equipment (Including Technology):


Picture of kiwi, lime, banana, apple, flower, and watermelon
Nametags
Rhyming cards blue and yellow
IPad with song and story Down By The Bay

Activities and Procedures:


Anticipatory Set/Hook/Lead-in including Transitions:
(Multi-sensory; more than words. How will you engage and introduce the lesson?)
Start by having the students sit in a circle. The teacher will then tell the students that she needs their help with a riddle. The teacher
will lay out pictures of a kiwi, lime, banana, apple, flower, and a watermelon. Before the teacher says the riddle, she will remind the
students to have their listening ears so they will not miss a part of the riddle. She will then tell the students the riddle and the students
will have to eliminate the pictures that do not fit the description.
You can eat it (remove nothing explain to students that you can eat some flowers, for example, violets. They can be used in jelly and
tea.

Its a fruit remove flower

Its green on the outside remove banana, apple, and kiwi

It has seeds on the inside remove lime

It begins with the letter W teacher asks if watermelon starts with W

It is pink on the inside teacher asks if a watermelon is pink

Teacher then asks does everyone agree the answer to the riddle is watermelon?

The teacher will leave the picture of the watermelon up

Lesson Sequence (step-by-step) including Transitions:


The teacher will then ask the students if they have ever heard or sung the song Down By The Bay before. If not, tell the students they
will be learning the song as well as some rhymes and it even has the word watermelon in it. The teacher will also tell the students they
will be reading through the song first as a story finding the rhymes together and figuring out words they do not know. Next, they will
learn the song together along with the motions. They will learn the rhyme that is on their nametag and they will learn when it is their
turn to stand up and do the motion assigned to them. There will be two people to each rhyme. Before any of this happens though, the
teacher will first ask the students to move up closer to her from the outer circle so they can see the story/song on the iPad. Also before
the reading occurs have each student figure out what picture is on their nametag so they do not get confused during the song.
Motions to the song

Down by the bay where the watermelons grow show big watermelon with arms

Back to my home I dare not go shake head and show no with hands by crossing

For if I do my mother will say shake finger

Snake baking a cake mix bowl

Frog walking a dog pretend to walk dog

Mouse painting a house pretend to paint

Cat wearing a hat put pretend hat on head

Pig doing a jig do a dance

Cow going bow wow say bow wow like a dog

Fish eating from a dish pretend to eat

In the next activity, students will be playing a little game of find your match. Each student will be given a card of one rhyme word out
of the pairs they just learned. Some cards will have blue on the back and some will have yellow. The teacher will start off the game by
transitioning the students to the left or the right side of the room. She will say will everyone with a yellow card tip toe over to this side
of the room and will everyone with a blue card hop over to this side of the room. The teacher will first make sure each student knows
what is on his or her card. The students with the yellow paper will be instructed to find a blue with their rhyming pair. Once they find
their match they will be instructed to sit down with their rhyming partner and the entire class will either put a thumbs up or down if
they think the match is correct. The process will repeat again after the teacher switches up the cards first telling them to go back to the
side of the room they started the game on. They will switch up the cards within their group and this time the students with the blue
paper will go find their match. Again, they will sit down and the class will do thumbs up or down. Make sure through all of this the
teacher tells the students they need to walk so no one gets hurt. Students will then be instructed when the activity is over to go back to
their tape they started the lesson on in the circle.
Closure (Recall and review of objectives) including Transitions:
The teacher will have a list of rhymes from the story containing one of the words and a new rhyming word. All the students will then
have to put thumbs up or down if they think the word rhymes or if it does not.
Ask students if

Snake and rake rhyme

Frog and log rhyme

Mouse and mom rhyme

Hat and bat rhyme

Pig and pen rhyme

Cow and frown rhyme

Fish and kiss rhyme

Modifications for Individual Differences: (Include Modifications for Fine-Motor and Non-verbal skills)
The lesson requires the students to only use thumbs up and down they are never really put on the spot to talk except for the beginning
of the lesson when they are finding out which pictures are on their nametags. Even though the student will not sing they can still do the
motions to the song just like everyone else will.
For fine motor, the matching game cards are half blue and half yellow so the student knows the match goes together.
