I was fortunate to be part of a research study with Dr. Blachman, using Road to the Code. In one of the activites the students have to guess which one is not like the other adapted from Sesame Street. Students are presented with four picture cards three of which rhyme. Students have to guess which one doesn't belong. I also use these same cards during our whole group time and students have to guess my rule, some days it may be they rhyme, have the same intial sound, or they have something in common. The students love trying to guess my rule. To extend you could have students select, draw, or say three things and their classmates have to guess the rule. I have also made bingo cards using the same picture cards, students pick a card from a pile, say the word, and determine if they have a rhyming picture. Kim
