Butterfly Language Ideas
Butterfly Houses
Children gain rhyme sorting
practice when they help little butterflies fly to the correct house.
In advance, duplicate a large supply of butterfly patterns. Then
make a butterfly house for
each rhyme you want children to practice.
To make a butterfly house, cover the outside
bottom of a shoebox with
construction paper. Cut a 1" x 4" rectangle in the bottom of the
box.
Tape a triangular cardboard roof to the top of box. Add
decorations as desired. Label each
house with a different rhyme.
Color and cut out the butterflies. For each house, program
several
cutouts with words ending with its rhyme. To make the center
self-checking, also
write the words on the inside of the box. To
play, a child sorts the butterflies by rhyme
and then flies them into the
appropriate houses. After all of the butterflies
have been sorted,
have him look inside the box to check his work.
Colorful Butterfly
Cut out a large butterfly
shape from poster board or bulletin board paper. Then choose
a color
and ask the children to brainstorm as many things as they can that are
that color.
Invite each child to write the name of one of the items in a
space on the butterfly's wings.
Then have the children decorate
around the spaces by gluing on crumpled tissue paper
of the matching
color. Use markers or decorative paper to color the butterfly's
body;
then add large wiggly eyes and pipe cleaner antennae to complete
this colorful creation.
