Letters - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom


My son started PreK-4 last week and they began a lesson on Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Since we were hearing about it non-stop, I decided to make it our theme this week. Now everyone in our family knows the song and the kids have to read the book at least twice a day. Needless to say, I will be very excited when we move on from this one.

Book: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault
Music: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom song. This will be forever stuck in your head
Art: Make a Coconut Tree. We used construction paper but feel free to use whatever supplies you have. Pinterest is full of ideas.
Activity: Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Matching. I made a simple sheet that you can print on cardstock and cut out. You can find that here.
Food: Coconut Smoothies. Cococnut Milk, Pineapple, Banana, and Honey.





Here is how our week turned out. It took 3 days of doing projects while reading and singing the song everyday.

 



Cutting out leaves and coconuts.

Our finished Coconut Tree
Matching the Mama and Papa letters to the babies.

I cut out one set so they could place the letters on another.

Each worked on their set and then traded when finished.
