Little Man LOVES board games. I didn’t know that until I bought him Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders for Christmas and unwittingly created a monster. In the months since he got Candy Land, we have probably played it close to 300 times! No exaggeration. Needless to say, I’ve been a little desperate to add some variety to our game repertoire. So, when Little Man asked if we could study the rain forest as part of our home preschool, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to create a new literacy-practice board game for him…using the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

It came together really quickly and I actually just made up the rules as we played, so it’s super simple–kind of a mix between Candy Land & Trouble. Little Man loved it! We’ve played it a bunch of times in the past few weeks.

If you want to create your own game, here’s what you’ll need:

Materials:

• construction paper (brown & green)
• glue
• a marker
• alphabet letters (we used our magnet letters…you just need to have at least 3 of the same color for each player. You could even make these out of paper, too.)
• a die (I stole one from another game)

How to create the game board:

1. Create a simple coconut tree out of construction paper and glue it together. I used two brown pieces end-to-end for the trunk and cut my leaves out of three pieces of green paper folded in half to make 6 leaves total. It ended up being a long board (close to 3 ft) , but it’s easy to fold in half or even thirds for storage.
2. Draw a pathway up the coconut tree. Make a “start” space and then divide the rest of the path into spaces for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet (I recommend doing this with pencil lightly at first to make sure that you have enough space for the whole alphabet). Write one letter of the alphabet in each box.
3. Once you’re satisfied with your sketched path, go over everything in marker.
4. Now you’re ready to play!

1. Each player picks three alphabet letters of the same color. (Note: You can do more letters if you want, but after some trial and error, we found that three was the right number for my three-year-old’s attention span…and mine.)
2. Place the chosen alphabet letters at the bottom of the tree. Each player places one letter on the “start” space.
3. The first player rolls the die, and moves up the corresponding number of spaces. As the player moves past each space, he or she says the letter on that space (For example, if you roll a 3, you move saying “A, B, C, and then stop on C).
4. The next player rolls and does the same.
5. On the player’s next turn, he or she can continue to move the first letter or can start the second letter up the tree. On any turn, the player can choose to move any of his or her letters (like in Trouble).
6. If a player lands on the space for the letter he or she is moving (for example, the letter K lands on the K space), that letter gets to jump to the top of the tree.
7. Play continues this way until one player wins by getting all three of his or her letters to the top of the tree. Then, the winner shouts, “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” and makes all the letters fall back down to the bottom (that part was Little Man’s idea).

You can add any other house rules that you think sound fun. I originally planned to make it more like Trouble where you send the other player home if you land on a space occupied by the other player, but Little Man didn’t like that idea, so we didn’t do it. I also think that in time we might shift it to practice the sounds the letters make rather than their names.

Again, it’s a super simple game, but it has served its purpose well of giving Little Man some extra practice with the letters of the alphabet. Plus, it’s given me a break from Candy Land. Thank goodness.

Try it out!

Can you think of any other variations on this game that would be fun to try?

Here’s where I’m linking up this week.

Do you love by Bill Martin Jr. And John Archambault? This beloved read aloud is a favorite for teaching the alphabet in the younger grades. That’s why we rounded up the best Chicka Chicka Boom Boom activities to keep you dancing all the way to the coconut tree.Just a heads up, WeAreTeachers may collect a share of sales from the links on this page.

We only recommend items our team loves! Create your own coconut tree.Let your students create their own coconut tree. You’ll need construction paper, tempera paint, and alphabet stickers. Bonus: If you find upper- and lowercase letter stickers, your students can act out the story as they assemble their craft.Source: 2. Let the letters of your name climb up the coconut tree.This craft is easy enough for students who are just learning scissors skills. To make the palm leaves, have each student cut out a circle and then cut the circles in half. They can create “fringe” by making vertical snips in the paper.

You can use foam sticker letters or cut-out construction paper letters.Source: 3. Liven up story time with this flannel board.These felt boards are a fun way for students to interact with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Turn on the music and let the students act out the story while the song narrates the action.Source: 4. Count with coconuts.These Chicka Chicka Boom Boom-inspired worksheets will get your students counting. Grab this and let your students get to work.

Use construction paper circles as the coconuts. You can also have students color each page and decorate them with alphabet stickers.Source: 5. Learn to match uppercase and lowercase letters.One of the great teaching components of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is the introduction of both uppercase letters and lowercase letters. This art project doubles as a matching game for younger students who are still learning the difference between the “mama and papa” letters and the “baby” letters.Source: 6. Let your students have fun with this sensory bin.Sensory bins are a great addition to any classroom, and this bin is no exception. With brown circle beads as the coconuts and alphabet beads as the alphabet, students can create a 3-D model of the coconut tree.Source: 7.

Ascendant movie. ↓. Jupiter Ascending is an awesome story with an abundance of visual effects to enjoy. Eric MedinaI agree with the masses on this thread.

Eat the whole “coconut tree.”Who’s hungry enough to eat a whole coconut tree? Students will enjoy this activity as it combines story time with snack time. The celery stalks double as the coconut tree, and Alpha-Bits cereal is the star of the show. Note: If you are a nut-free classroom, you can swap out the peanut butter for sunflower butter or cookie butter.Source: 8. Create coconut dice.Students will have fun matching these cards.

One card has a numeral while the other card displays a coconut with a die face. Students can play independently, or two students can play together.Source: 9. Hit the bowling lanes with coconut bowling.Get up and moving with this Chicka Chicka Boom Boom-inspired game. Water bottles stand in for the bowling pins, and a coconut stands in for the bowling ball.Tip: Glue alphabet letters on the “pins” to tie in the bruised and skinned-knee element of the story. A coconut bowling ball sure would rough up those baby letters!Source: 10. Explore the science of coconuts.Do coconuts sink or float? This project introduces the idea of hypothesis, experiments, and conclusions.

Have your students fill out these worksheets before testing a few coconuts in a big container of water.Source:What are your favorite Chicka Chicka Boom Boom activities?
