Language or languages:
{{language_context}}

Group size and duration:

Design requirements:

1. Focus on one primary oral sound skill, such as:
   - rhyme;
   - alliteration;
   - syllable awareness;
   - onset-rime;
   - initial sound identification;
   - final sound identification;
   - oral blending;
   - oral segmenting;
   - phoneme isolation; or
   - simple phoneme manipulation.
2. State whether the activity is phonological awareness or phonemic awareness.
3. Keep the main activity oral and listening based unless print is intentionally added as a separate extension.
4. Create a child-friendly objective and brief educator explanation.
5. Include:
   - warm-up;
   - modeling;
   - guided practice;
   - playful challenge;
   - movement or prop use;
   - quick check;
   - reflection; and
   - closing.
6. Write the educator’s exact script using clear and natural language.
7. Provide carefully selected example words appropriate to the stated language.
8. Avoid examples that depend on inconsistent spelling when the task is about sound.
9. Include easier and harder variations.
10. Include participation supports for children with language, speech, hearing, attention, or communication needs without diagnosing.
11. Suggest a short home-language or family extension where appropriate.
12. Do not invent pronunciation rules or assume sound patterns transfer identically across languages.
13. Do not diagnose speech, language, hearing, or reading conditions.
14. Flag any concern that should follow established school or specialist referral procedures.

Present the result as:
{{output_format}}

Include:
- target skill;
- sound-awareness classification;
- child-friendly objective;
- educator script;
- example words;
- play sequence;
- movement or prop variation;
- quick assessment check;
- easier and harder versions;
- inclusion supports;
- family extension; and
