When the duck waddles into the meadow, the oboe sounds slow and happy. (echo) MATCHING GAME!

 Now you’ll write what you’ve been saying!  First choose a character to write about  Then use the instrument and description cards you’ve matched to your character to write a sentence  For example, if I wanted to write about the duck, I would ask myself, which instrument stands for the duck? How does the instrument sound? TICKET OUT THE DOOR The oboe stands for the duck. When the duck waddles into the meadow, the oboe sounds slow and happy. (echo).

1.Table leaders draw a character card and choose the matching instrument. Choose two actions that the character does. Use the description cards to tell how the sound changes at different points in the story. 2.If the sentence makes sense, the group echoes. If it doesn’t make sense, the group offers suggestions to correct them. Once the sentence is correct, the group says it together. 3.Continue until everyone gets a turn. If you finish early, take another turn! *Use your language log to help ECHO CARD GAME!
