On the bottom of the worksheet each student will write the letter b 3 times.

Together as a class we will play Bingo and the words we use will all begin with the letter b.

Students will be grouped in 3. They will receive a balloon and after they blow it up every time someone from the group says a word beginning with the sound b they will write the letter b on their balloon with a marker. Whichever team has the most B’s on their balloon wins.

Strengths – uses multiple ways to teach the letter so all types of learners have the opportunity to learn.
Weaknesses I think this lesson can use more focus on writing.
