Date: May 1994

Grade Level(s): Kindergarten, 1

Subject(s):

  • Language Arts/Reading

Overview: Knowledge of the alphabet is essential to beginning reading. This activity is a way to reinforce these skills with young children in a fun way.

Objective: The student will say the letter and something that begins with that sound to their neighbor.

Materials:

  • alphabet cards
  • record
  • hat

Activities and Procedures:

  • Children sit in a circle. Each child draws an alphabet letter (a different one for each child or every other child, use caps to begin with then mix in lower case) out of a hat. Have them identify the letter as they draw it out of the hat and think of something that begins with that sound.
  • Place letters on the floor and stand up. Play a musical march and children march around the circle until the music stops.
  • When the music stops the children sit down by a new letter and repeat the above procedure. You can spot check to save time and have kids help each other if they don’t know the letter.

    • Tying It All Together: Repeat the procedure several times. You could use words, shapes, math facts, anything you want to reinforce. Kids like to play the game.
