draw an outline of a house with a stickfigure family inside it. Touch and name the
members of the family—mother, father,
sister, and brother.
• As you say and perform the fingerplay,
point to the picture of the family member.
Have the children repeat each line in
English with you.
Phonological Awareness
• If the name-clapping game is difficult,
practice by building up one syllable at a
time. Invite children to clap along with you
as you say one-syllable words such as
ball or Ling. Add another syllable, to form
two-syllable words like finger or Marco.
Graduate to three-syllable words.
• Ask children to clap and count the syllables
in their names. Help them notice their chins
dropping as they enunciate each syllable.
Observing Children
Daily Work
• How are children connecting the fingers
that represent each family member with
fingerplay about their families? Do they
know how many people are in their
own families?
• Are children able to clap out the syllables
in their names?
