Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 7
Letter g
Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the letter "g" to young learners (age 3-4). Children meet a girl sitting on a picnic blanket in a green field, eating a guava. They look at the big letter "g", say its sound /g/, name the words girl, guava, gate, gift and guitar, trace the letter "g", and colour the gift picture. All work is oral, playful and hands-on. Children are not expected to read or write words.
Learning Objectives
- Recognise the letter "g" and say its sound /g/
- Learn simple words that begin with the letter "g": girl, guava, gate, gift, guitar
- Trace the letter "g" with a finger and then with a pencil
- Listen to and repeat the sentence "The girl is eating delicious guava"
- Build fine motor skills through playdough rolling, thumb printing and tracing
Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 20
- Picture cards: girl, guava, gate, gift, guitar
- A large letter "g" card
- A real guava, if available
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Sing a short alphabet song together, stopping at "g"
- Hold up the big "g" card. Say: "This is g. g says /g/."
- Show children the sound comes from the back of the mouth, a short quick /g/
- Children say /g/ three times: loud voice, whisper voice, happy voice
Main Activity (20 minutes)
- Open page 20. Ask: "What can you see?" Accept any answers
- Point to the girl and say "girl". Children repeat
- Point to the guava in her hands and the basket and say "guava". Children repeat
- If you have a real guava, show it and let children smell it
- Read the speech bubble slowly: "The girl is eating delicious guava"
- Children say the sentence with you and pretend to take a bite: "Yum!"
- Point to the three picture cards one at a time:
- gate -- "We open it to go in! gate"
- gift -- "A present with a red bow! gift"
- guitar -- "It makes music! guitar"
- Stretch the first sound: "g-g-g-gate", "g-g-g-gift"
- Show the big pink "g" on the page. Children trace it in the air with one finger
Wrap-Up (5 minutes)
- Play "Show me": say a word, children point to the matching picture
- Everyone pretends to play the guitar and sings /g/ /g/ /g/
Differentiation
- Support: Let shy children point instead of saying the word
- Extension: Ask confident children to name all five words on the page
Day 2: Sound and Play (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 20 (activity boxes)
- Access to the school garden
- A tablet with a letter-sound game
- Green playdough
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Hold up the "g" card. Children say "g says /g/"
- Quick picture recall: girl, guava, gate, gift, guitar
Main Activity -- Little Explorers (8 minutes)
- Walk the children round the garden and look for something green growing
- Let every child touch one leaf
- Say "green -- g-g-green" and "garden -- g-g-garden"
Main Activity -- Little Innovators (6 minutes)
- Play a letter-sound game on the tablet
- Each child takes one turn at finding the letter "g"
- Clap for every child who finds it
Main Activity -- Little Builders (7 minutes)
- Give out green playdough
- Roll small balls together
- Press them together into one heavy bunch of grapes
- Say "grapes -- g-g-grapes"
Wrap-Up -- Little Thinkers (4 minutes)
- The book asks children to count the goat's legs together, then count their own, and say how many more legs the goat has
- There is no goat on page 20, so show a goat picture or toy goat first
- Count: goat -- one, two, three, four. Me -- one, two. The goat has two more legs
Differentiation
- Support: Hold the child's hand to roll the playdough balls
- Extension: Ask children to say one more thing that is green
Day 3: Trace and Write (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 21, pencils, green paint, a plate, wet wipes, crayons
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Children say /g/ and pretend to open a big gate
- Draw a big "g" in the air together
Main Activity -- Finger Tracing (5 minutes)
- Following the Teacher's Note, let children run a finger along the big pink "g"
- Describe the stroke: "Start at the top. Go round like a ball. Go back up, then straight down, and curl a little hook at the bottom."
- Children colour in the big "g"
Main Activity -- Pencil Tracing (10 minutes)
- Hand out pencils. Check a gentle, correct pencil grip
- Work through the traced rows together, one line at a time
- The first row shows the steps: first the round part, then the line down with the hook
- Start each "g" at the red dot and follow the arrow
- On the dot rows, the teacher guides a hand where needed
Main Activity -- Little Artists (7 minutes)
- Children press a thumb into green paint and make thumbprints on page 21, one for each grape
- Note: the book says "fill the grapes on the next page", but the picture on page 21 is a gift box -- let children make thumbprints around the gift, then colour the gift
- Say "gift -- g-g-gift" as they colour
Wrap-Up (3 minutes)
- Each child holds up their page and says "g says /g/"
- Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book
Differentiation
- Support: Use a thick pencil or grip; trace hand over hand
- Extension: Let children try a "g" on the dot rows on their own
Teaching Tips (from textbook)

- Hand out pencils and work through the traced rows together, one line at a time
- When the writing is done, start the Little Artists art activity
- Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book
