Begin by singing Raffi's Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: Bear in the Air by Susan Meyers.

Activity: Sounds that rhyme with oo. Moo, Boo, Choo-Choo, Whoo, Cock-a-doodle-doo! We put up pictures of cows, ghosts, trains, etc. and had the children tell us what sound that rhymes w/ oo each of those things make.

Book: A Girl and Her Gator by Sean Bryan. This is the best rhyming book every!

Activity: Hop on Pop. We jumped (a few at a time) on a piece of cloth with Pop from the Doctor Seuss book Hop on Pop drawn on it while we chanted:

Hop!
We like to hop.
We like to hop on top of pop.
STOP!
You must not hop on pop.
