Students read a book and engage in three different activities. In this lesson plan about repetitive story patterns, students read a story, The Flea's Sneeze, and examine how the story has a rhythmic pattern of rhyming verse that sounds like a song. Students use drums, rhythm sticks, hand tom-tom, and guiro tone block to tap out the beat, draw a picture of a group of rhyming words, and make puppets for a puppet show to act out the story.
