Onomatopoeic “Sticky” Clues (ages 5-10)

Here’s what you’ll need:

Here’s what you do:

With your child, write down several summer onomatopoeic sentences on notebook paper.For example:
Fish splash in the water.
Bees buzz around the picnic table.
Dogs bark to be let in on a hot summer’s day.
Change each sentence into a clue.For example:
Fish splash in the water. -> I splash in the water.

Write each clue on a separate sticky note.
When you have six clues written on sticky notes, stick them onto a piece of construction paper. (Three on the top and three on the bottom works well.) Leave room under each clue for a picture.
Under each clue, ask your child to draw a picture of the answer.For example:
Under the clue, “I splash in the water.”, your child would draw a picture of a fish.
