O 4.3 Listen for sounds, rhyme and rhythm   View this objective over 4 years >> Learning opportunities Identify specific sounds, e.g. rhymes, letters, phonemes, words Compare different sounds   Knowledge about language Sort words according to sounds   Language learning strategies Analyse and compare English with the language being studied Sort words into categories   Teaching activities Count sets of objects and notice how the plural sounds, e.g. one dog, two dogs, three dogs. Play a game with initial letters and/or syllables, guessing the name of something (clothes, town, country); the teacher says I'm thinking of a town with two syllables whose first letter is P. Extend to include vowels and consonants, e.g. I'm thinking of an animal with two syllables, which has two vowels and three consonants. Play Fruit Salad game. Children are each given a word to remember, e.g. apple, peach, pear, plum. When the teacher calls out a word, every child with that word must change places. When the teacher calls out Fruit Salad all children change places. Sort words into categories by criteria such as how many syllables, e.g. place cuddly toys on different mats within the circle: dog, cat, bee; rabbit, parrot, donkey; elephant, crocodile, dinosaur; dromedary; hippopotamus. Sort objects into categories by the sound of the first or last letter, e.g. dog, dinosaur, dromedary, donkey; elephant, rabbit, cat. Play the Singular and Plural game: Listen to spoken language and identify ideas which are singular or plural, e.g. choose whether to stand on the singular mat or the plural mat when you hear Five elephants are dancing or One elephant is sleeping. Listen out for plurals and give a physical response such as standing up, sitting down or putting up their hand when a plural idea is heard. Compare the sound of plural ideas in English with those of the language. Use ICT to develop games and activities.
