For this sound, the keyword is bird. As an exercise I took some shredded tissue and put it into my ELEFUN machine. I gave my student and myself a copy of a bird shadow. I told her that this bird lost all his hair and we have to find them in the ELEFUN machine and help him stick it back on. On each hair I have a 'ir' sound word. We will catch the hair in our nets and carry them back to our picture. Both me and the student say the word on each hair and stick it back onto the bird. At the end we compare which bird is hairier....lol. As an extension exercise, you could also create a story with all the 'ir' sound words and involves the bird.
