Islamic Nursery Rhyme: Word family -at

(use props, gestures, and student involvement to draw students into the actions mentioned in the rhyme.)

"Come to pray on my big prayer mat,
Cover your head with a hat."

My dear friend [_______] came and sat. [Use names of children in the class]
It's so nice that I'll bring my cat!


This nursery rhyme could be used at the beginning of a lesson to engage students and introduce the first commonly taught word family, "-at," using words that most children - including English language learners - already know.
