At small group time, the children listened carefully for clues to which ingredients to add to make our silly soup.   The clues included a description of the nursery object.  For example, it has a stripy pattern.  Sometimes the children listened for the initial letter sound of the object, for example, this begins with a ‘c’ sound.   One by one, the children then helped to stir the silly soup ingredients as we sang the silly soup rhyme…

We’re making lots of silly soup

We’re making soup that’s silly

We’re going to put it in the fridge

To make it nice and chilly!

This is a fun letters and sounds game that you could play at home.
