Chants
Read and talk about the "Chants" handout with your classmates. Then begin the activity below by reading the chant poem about eating.
Bite bite bite,
I bite a chicken and cheese burrito.
Bite bite bite,
I bite a beef taco, too.
Crunch crunch crunch,
The fried tortilla crunches.
Chew chew chew.
It tastes so good I want to
Swallow swallow swallow,
Now my stomach isn't hollow.
====================
Eating themes are wonderful for chant poems, because there are so many repeating motions in eating. Make a list of all of the repeating motions involved in eating and drinking. Put them in the word bank below.
