Have the kids prepare and enjoy snacks beginning with the letter "D." Share delicious donuts, devil's food cake, dips, dill pickles and desserts. Each child can bring a snack to share in a delectable feast.
Fill a bag with objects beginning with the letter 'D." Put a rubber duck, dimes, doll, domino, daisy, dice and diamond shapes in your bag. Have each child reach into the bag and pull out a "D" item and then say the item, spell the item and explain what the item is.
Have the children look around the room and name all the objects beginning with the letter "D." There may be a doll, dog, desk, drawer, drum, dirt or diamond in the classroom. Make a list of the names of the objects on the board.
Have the children create a book with all the "D" animals they can think of. Suggest dogs, dinosaurs, ducks, donkeys, dragon and deer. Have them write the name of each animal and either cut out pictures from magazines to glue in their books or draw pictures of the animals.
