ABC Games & Alphabet Sounds

Many parents have kids that are soon to enter kindergarten for the first time and are wondering what their kids should know before they head out to school on their own.

As a mom who once taught Kindergarten, I always wanted to make sure my kids are well-prepared and ready to begin their school career with a bit of an advantage by knowing their letters and sounds.

I have seen the value in children knowing their letters early. That said, I also recognize that kids are kids, and I want to make sure they have time to play – both independently and with me.

Let’s learn our alphabet through playing games!

Learning Through Alphabet Games

Children acquire knowledge through play, so learning letters at our house is rarely a sit down structured time.

It’s a time of play and games!

The kids have fun and don’t even realize they are learning at the same time. I don’t believe we should leave teaching up to the schools. You get the great honor of being an educator of your child, and you can supplement what is happening at school by engaging your child in enjoyable yet educational ways.

The main purpose of is to build trust within the group.

Game progress : all the children stand in a circle, putting their hands on each other's shoulders. One of the children is chosen as a "wizard", the teacher blindfolds him and transfers him to another place in the circle. Now other children are already standing next to the child: touching their shoulders with his hands, the “wizard” must say who it is. The teacher asks the guys to keep quiet while guessing so that the “magic” does not dissipate.

2. Game "Get up, I'm looking at you!"

Main target - develop mutual understanding between children.

Game progress : The teacher leads first to show the rules. Everyone sits in a row, the driver comes forward, looks around at all the children, and then stops looking at someone for 2-3 seconds. Whoever the host is now looking at should stand up and smile. All the children take turns leading to learn to understand and feel the gestures and articulation of others.

3. Game "Nature is sad"

Game in progress.
Educator: Do you cry when you are offended?
Children: Yes, sometimes!
Educator: do you think nature can cry if someone offends her?
Children: probably!
Educator: it’s raining in the fall, did someone offend nature?

Further, the facilitator invites the children to discuss why nature can cry and how it could be offended. For a change, you can choose not abstract phenomena, but trees or flowers. Children should offer various options: how to take pity on nature and help her. During the discussion, the facilitator asks if it is possible to feel sorry for his friend in the same way if he was offended. Children come to the conclusion that empathy and support is not difficult.

Game progress .
Leading: a long time ago, a small, but very harmful and evil paw lived in the city. She pushed the children, took away toys and pinched them. But the good guys managed to re-educate her. Let's try it too!

Children take turns sitting on a chair in the center of the circle and showing the Evil Paw - they squeeze their hand tightly, finger it. Further, all the children are invited to discuss in what situations the paw could be evil, and whether their own hands have ever been so. At the end of the discussion, the children come to the conclusion that the Evil Paw must be driven away, because no one will be friends with such a paw.

At the command of the leader, all the children immediately depict Evil paws, tensing their muscles, twisting their fingers and moving them. And after the teacher’s words “The paw has become kind!”, The children relax their hand. The game can be played after all conflict situations in the group.

All the guys take turns approaching the sad bunny and trying to comfort and feel sorry for him.

7. The game "Small circle - big circle"

The main goal is to develop in children the ability to cooperate.

The main thing is to learn how to do it all together and keep the circle intact.

9. Game "Sit down if you..."

Game progress : the host tells that all children and all people in the world are very different, but at the same time everyone is similar to each other. Then he turns on quiet background music and offers to check.

Host: Let's make sure it's true! Let those who love . .. chocolate now stand up and take the place of another!

Children get up and move to the vacant seats.

The teacher offers different options: who loves Fixies, who likes to sleep during quiet hours, who helps mom, who always finishes lunch, who loves autumn, etc.

After several stages, the children are invited to conclude that they really have a lot in common in the group, and in order to get to know another person and make friends with him, you can ask him what he likes.

10. Funny Piano Game

Main target - develop the ability to cooperate, empathy skills and self-control

Game progress : all children sit on chairs in one line. Now they are not just guys, but the keys of a magic piano that sound like the voices of different animals. The teacher assigns each kid his own voice - cats, mice, frogs, dogs, high, low, la-la, a-a-a.

Next, the lead pianist moves along a row of children, lightly touching the shoulder or head of the child - pressing the keys. The keys need to sound at the moment of touch, and then stop.

When performing the task again, you can complicate it: for example, press “two keys” at once next to children sitting or adjust the volume of the sound with the place where the pianist presses: the head is loud, the shoulder is quiet.
