Chinese New Year Phonics Brushing Teeth Activity

Chinese New Year Phonics Brushing Teeth Activity

This is a vibrant teaching resource designed mainly for preschool, kindergarten, and grade 1 learners. The activity facilitates sound recognition and recall, and letter reviewing tasks.

The Chinese lion teeth brushing game

This interactive game particularly supports those beginning phonics learning single sounds or phase 2 of the British curriculum. It is focused on lowercase letters only.

• Five colorful Chinese lion head mats - each showcases lowercase letters graphically displayed on the lion's teeth.
• An immersive classroom experience which facilitates education through play and improves memory retention.

1. The preparation bit: print out the mats, cut around the lion heads and laminate them. Then gather non-permanent markers (don't use permanent ones!) along with dollar store toothbrushes.
2. The activity: learners draw dots over each sound on the lions' heads using dry erase markers then brush off these dots using their toothbrushes revealing a hidden letter underneath. Learners are then encouraged to vocalize its corresponding sound aloud!

Bonus: This meticulous exercise also enhances fine motor skills by holding toothbrushes and drawing with markers while honing hand-eye coordination in an engaging educational context!
