Word Bingo
ABC Order Place
one letter of each of the letters of the alphabet in an area,
and have students arrange the cards into the correct order. Students
may work alone or in pairs or small groups. If desired, you can
make the activity competitive by having the various pairs or groups
race to beat the clock or one another. Tracing
with Chalk Give
each student a jump rope and a piece of chalk. Tell or show students
a letter that they are to create using their ropes. You might
give the sound of a letter and ask the students to create the
letter that matches it. After the students create the letter with
the rope, ask them to trace it with chalk. Next, they should be
able to remove the rope and see the letter formed. Have them name
the letter they have made and make its sound. Also, have students
tell a word that starts with that letter. 52
Pickup This game is just like the card game "52 Pickup." You or the students may toss Alphabet Letter Cards into the air, so they fall haphazardly to the floor. Have students run to a letter of choice, pick it up, and shout (or whisper or draw) the name of the letter. They may add the letter back to the pile of letters or bring it to you. The latter approach makes it easier for assessing what letters are known and which ones still need to be learned. You can ask students to find a given letter. You can make the sound of a letter and ask students to find the letter that matches the sound. You can show a letter and have a student find a match. You can show the uppercase version of a letter and ask the student to find its lowercase version, and vice versa. You can play the game using Word Cards, with the same type of variations mentioned.
