“Loon Necklaces” told by Annie K. Alexie from Kwethluk

This high-energy activity combines large-muscle development with children’s ability to hear and discriminate syllables in words.

This game lets children practice identifying rhyming words in a non-threatening group situation. It also provides them with a growing awareness of beginning and ending sounds of words. And, of course, they need to listen!

This fun activity helps children listen for and identify sounds, an important skill in understanding spoken communication.
