Multisensory Monday- Bunny Hop and Scrabble Slam

Posted by Brainspring on 21st Sep 2014

Hi everyone,

Welcome to Multisensory Monday!  This week I am featuring 2 ideas from Dite at Ladder Learning Services.  I was having some email difficulty recently and I missed sharing a couple of Dite’s great activities.

Bunny Hop

This activity helps students begin to look for the VC/CV syllable division pattern in words.  The VC/CV words all have a double consonant in the middle.

To play, just print the gameboard and make a bunny (or use any kind of token).

Bunny-Hop

You can make a simple bunny token with a cotton ball, paper, markers and scissors.  Cut out two ears, color the inside pink and glue them on top of the cotton ball.  Then just cut and glue two eyes and a nose and you’re done.  So adorable!DSCF0819

To play, students hop their bunny to the VC/CV words with the double consonants and read the word.

See Dite’s post for more details and an idea for more advanced students.

Scrabble Slam

Dite also has a great recommendation for a game you can purchase that would be a fun way to end a tutoring session or be played as a center activity.  Scrabble Slam is a fast-paced card game where players use letter cards to build and change words.

Dite describes the game in her post at http://atlantareads.org/2014/09/multisensory-monday-scrabble-slam/.

You can easily buy the game on Amazon.com.  As of this post, it is only $5.60 with free shipping!  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FVPS0K/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FVPS0K&linkCode=as2&tag=atlantarorg-20&linkId=JOBXF3YBVMIEEGR5
