You pronounce it and they repeat, if they don't already know it. All pictures face up inside circle. One child at a time picks two objects that go together, such as raincoat and rain hat or comb and brush, again pronouncing and repeating names of objects. Collect small common objects from children's games, like little plastic animals, letters, dishes, silverware, cars, trucks, etc. Scatter objects inside circle.
Teacher names an object and child finds it and repeats the name.
OR make word cards to correspond with the objects for a matching game. Find beginning reading books or very simple picture books with easy text. Tape record the text slowly and add a bell to indicate page turns. Children can play the tapes and follow the book. I have used the first lessons of the computer software Music Ace with older children.
