26 Easy, Fun Alphabet Activities That Give Kids the Practice They Need

Alphabet activities make learning your ABCs more fun. There are so many ways to practice your ABCs, you might be able to do one alphabet activity a day for a year without repeating. We’ve gathered over 25 super fun alphabet activities so kids can play and learn every day.

1. Write letters on dried beans

Large dried white beans are inexpensive to purchase and easy to write on. Grab a sharpie and write all the upper and lower case letters on them. Then put each set in a pile (or baggie) and ask your kids to match them.

2. Letter sort with sticky notes

Write individual letters on sticky notes and then place them all over your house or just on every stair in a staircase. This practice game has a lot of variations—all tied to sorting. Ask kids to sort by:

lowercase
uppercase
letters in their name
straight lines (H)
curved lines (c)
both curved and straight lines (B)
consonants
vowels

For even more practice: have them sort their finds into ABC order, match lowercase letters to uppercase letters, and then, find a way to sort them that’s new.

3. Write letters in shaving cream

Squirt shaving cream on a table and let your kids write letters in the cream. Smoothe it out to erase and start again. Bonus: their hands and your table will be cleaner than ever!

4. Bend letters with pipe cleaners

Pipe cleaners have always been a trusted source of good fine motor practice as well as a fun craft resource. Now use them to have kids create uppercase and lower case letters.

5. Make sensory ABC bags

This one is great because you can change up what you put in here and even move to sight words. You’ll need a gallon bag with a ziplock top. Add letters written on pieces of paper, magnetic letters, scrabble tiles, or anything else you can think of with letters. Then fill the bag with rice or oatmeal and seal it. Kids dig through the rice through the bag to find the letters. When they find them, they write down the letter they find until they locate all 26 letters of the alphabet.

6. Find invisible letters with watercolors

This is a classic. Using a white crayon, draw letters on a piece of white paper. Give your kids watercolor, let them paint the paper, and watch the letters appear.

7. Play musical alphabet

Set up letters in a big circle on the floor. You can use magnetic letters or just write them on index cards. Put music on and have your child walk around the circle to the music. When the music goes off, your child tells you the closest letter. Expand on it: ask your child to name three things (colors, animals, etc) that start with that letter.

8. Sponge the alphabet

Cut sponges into letters and use them for sponge painting letters or playing in the tub.

9.

Put together name puzzles

Write the upper and lower case letters in a name and then cut them apart in a simple zigzag. Mix up the letters and ask a child to match them up and put them in the right order.

10. Make letters from nature

Find the alphabet right outside. Choose natural objects that already look like letters, or arrange them to look like them.

11. Eat your ABCs

We know from Alphabet Soup that eating your ABCs is plain old fun. So think of all the ways you can practice the alphabet at mealtime. Pancakes can be made into letters, jello can be cut into letters, and noodles can be used to make letters (just to name a few).

12. Go on an alphabet scavenger hunt

The fun part about this for grown-ups is that there is no prep. Tell kids to go find objects that start with each letter of the alphabet. To make this game take longer, designate spots for them to bring each item back—one at a time. Every item must be approved before they can move on to the next. This allows for fewer meltdowns at the end when an item is deemed inaccurate.

13. Make your own ABC book

Personalizing the ABCs helps kids process and retain their learning. One of our favorite alphabet activities starts by creating a book out of 26 pieces of paper and staples or hole punches and a ribbon. Have kids write an uppercase and lowercase letter on each page. Finally, have them draw or cut out pictures of things that start with each letter. Voila!

14. Create ABC popup books

Use the following tutorial video to learn how to make different kinds of pop up pages. Then, create a page per week for 26 weeks for each letter. At the end, use a glue stick to glue them all together to make an ABC popup book!

15. Stamp letters in playdough

Roll out playdough and push letter stamps right into the dough. This is both tactile and great for practicing ABCs.

18. Study a letter of the week

Many PreK and Kindergarten classes do a letter of the week, and for good reason. Teachers all share that instant recognition of letters and practice writing them is so important for learning to read. Doing alphabet activities for one letter each week reinforces knowledge and recollection.

For weekly activities: Preschool Mom

19. Do the yoga alphabet

Show kids this video and take the time to learn each yoga pose. Connecting the mind and the body is great for learning.

20. Sing songs about the alphabet

Everyone loves to sing the alphabet song, but did you know there are lots of other songs to sing that can help you remember the alphabet? Try out this Sesame Street favorite:

21. Draw pictures from letters

Using letters as a starting point, teach kids how to draw. If this is too difficult at first, just write a letter and then draw a picture around the letter.

22. Highlight letters on a page

Print a page of text or grab your favorite magazine and a highlighter. Ask kids to highlight as many of one letter as they can find. This is also great for sight word recognition.

Here’s a freebie from The Inspired Apple to get you started.

23.

Do-A-Dot letter tracing

These dot markers make tracing letters more fun and help kids with directionality and remembering how to write and recognize letters.

24. Play letter slap

Make 2 sets of index cards with all the letters on them (52 cards in all). Shuffle the cards together and deal them so each kid holds 26 cards. Together each player takes their top card and turns it upright. The player with the letter closest to A wins the hand and takes the card. If two of the same letter are played, the players slap the card. The one on the bottom of the slip wins the hand. The game ends when one player holds all the cards.

25. Match plastic Easter egg letters

Surely you have some plastic Easter eggs hanging around your attic. Use a Sharpie or letter stickers to put an uppercase letter on one half and a lowercase letter on the other. Then separate the two and throw them all in a basket. Kids pull them out and match them up. Tip: Add difficulty by not coordinating the colors.

26. Create loose part letters

What are loose parts? Loose parts are exactly what they sound like—a collection of loose materials or objects. These can be small pebbles, bottle caps, random LEGO bricks, seeds, keys, anything. Draw big letters on a piece of paper and have kids line up loose parts to make the letter.

Recognizing letters is a fundamental part of learning how to read. Without it, children struggle to learn letter sounds and identify words. Beginning readers who know their alphabet have a much easier time learning to read. Making alphabet practice a part of every day in fun ways helps create a lifelong love for letters and words.

9 Fun Activities That will Help Your Kids Learn the Alphabet

Add variety to your alphabet instruction with these 9 fun alphabet activities for preschoolers. You can even download a sampler of letter A printables to try them out today.

Are you looking for some fun ways to teach the alphabet to your kids?

During the summer I avoided the steamy 100+ temperature by sitting inside reading No More Teaching a Letter a Week by Rebecca McKay and William H. Teale. Under the cool vent of the AC, I was struck by how many times the authors mentioned that kids benefit from varied and repeated exposure and practice with the alphabet.

I know that I like a little variety when I learn. How about you?

There is no need for you to search all over Pinterest for a bunch of activities that will interest your kids as they learn the alphabet.

Today, I’m excited to tell you about the 9 different letter activities that are included in my Super Alphabet Bundle. The wide variety of activities are great for in the classroom or for parents to do at home.

They will give you the opportunity to work on alphabet knowledge in many different ways with your kids.

Plus, you can even sample the printable activities.

How to teach the alphabet

Learning the alphabet involves much more than reciting the ABC song. Kids learn the alphabet when they

learn letter recognition
learn letter sounds
learn to form letters

Kids can learn the alphabet through name activities, by reading books, through playful multi-sensory alphabet activities.

There are MANY ways to help kids learn letters, and it’s best to provide a variety of activities.

Let me show you 9 printables to help kids learn the alphabet.

1. Dot Alphabet Activities

The first activity that I want to share is alphabet dot pages. These printable alphabet dot letters can be used to work on letter recognition, letter formation, and letter-sound knowledge.

Kids can trace the letters with their fingers to learn to recognize the unique features of each individual letter. I love that this activity can also be a great fine motor exercise. Kids enjoy placing stickers, loose parts, or sticky fingerprints in each circle of the letters.

To get tons of ideas for using the pages, check out this article about alphabet dot letters

2. An Alphabet Word Wall

Next, you can create a print-rich environment in your classroom with word wall cards. The alphabet header cards in this word wall set are large, square cards with a simple border and large letters so that kids can focus on what is important…the letters. Each word card contains a word in a large, clear, simple font along with a simple illustration…..again clear and simple.

You can also create name cards or custom cards for your word wall. Kids love seeing some environmental print cards up there too.

Because of the trademarked logos, I can’t add environmental print cards to the printable set.

But….let me share a secret…..

You can make them by using a logo image in place of a child’s photograph. Have fun creating them. Teachers proudly displayed the Ohio State logo on our word walls when we lived in Columbus, Ohio.

In addition to using the set as a word wall, you can use the resource in pocket charts, on word rings in your writing center. You can also use the word cards and alphabet header cards as a sorting activity, for a word scavenger hunt, or as a matching game

3. Start with a Dot – Letter Formation Activities

Giving kids the opportunity to produce letters will help them learn to recognize the letters. This alphabet tracing activity set includes several different cards to help kids learn to produce letters.

Letter Tracing Cards in a Salt Tray

Finger tracing cards provide a great way to help children learn the differences among the letters. A starting dot serves as a visual reminder on where to start letter formation.

Kids can finger trace directly on the cards or can use the cards as a reference as they reproduce the letters in a salt tray, on a blank wall, or in the air with their magic finger.

Do you want to know how to put together a salt tray? Check out this salt tray post for some great ideas to make an exciting salt tray for your kids.

Create Tactile Letter Cards

You can also use the cards to make tactile letter cards. Kids love feeling the letters and don’t even realize that they are learning as they do it. Find direction and LOTS of ideas in my article about tactile letters.

Alphabet Tracing Strips

The set also includes 3 sets of alphabet tracing strips so that kids can also practice letter formation with a real-life writing instrument (not a magic finger).

Each set of tracing strips have a different style of tracing font

yellow
dotted
outlined

Some children may find it easier to see their writing on top of the yellow letters, some children may enjoy the challenge of trying to keep their writing within the lines of the outlined letters. Use the style of tracing stripes that are best for your kids.

These are not like old-school letter tracing activities. You know what I mean…the ones with all the arrows and numbers. I do not like those things!

Don’t Distract Me! – Arrows and numbers on tracing letters easily distract me. I prefer to use a simple green starting dot on my tracing activities. The dot provides a visual clue to help kids know where to begin when forming letters.

4. My Favorite – Editable Alphabet Activity Sheets

These editable pages provide endless letter activities for your kids.

Practice letter recognition and phonemic awareness in creative and multi-sensory ways. The full set contains lowercase and uppercase editable letter pages, uppercase and lowercase pages without text, 1 full-color editable cover page, and 1 black and white editable cover page.

These letter sheets are my favorite alphabet activity because there are so many ways to use them.

Create an alphabet book by binding a cover together with ABC pages.
Make a tactile alphabet book and let kids finger trace the letters.
Make alphabet pages featuring your kids’ names.
Create a class name book.
Use the sheets, along with small manipulative or toys, as play mats or play dough mats.
Create letter activities or art/craft projects with the letter sheets.
Use the sheets without text as coloring pages or take-home pages.

If you want to use materials that coordinate with each letter of the alphabet, check out this article for a HUGE list of material ideas for your letter activities.

5. The All-in-One ABC Play Dough & Activity Mats

If you are looking for an easy printable that provides multi-sensory opportunities to practice letter recognition, letter formation, and letter-sound association …all on one page…this alphabet activity mat is it. The full set contains 26 full-color alphabet mats and 26 black and white alphabet mats.

Each alphabet mat contains five sections.

Alphabet Square – Children can finger trace the large letters or they can place a coil of play dough, wikki stix, or small objects on top of the letter. They can also color the letters.
Uppercase Alphabet Line– Encourage kids to search for and circle the focus letter among the other letters in the alphabet.
Beginning Sound Examples– Review the objects pictured with your kids. Name the objects and listen for the beginning sound. Practice the sound associated with the letter. Kids can also search for the letter in each word, and/or circle the letter in each word. Kids can color the pictures on the black and white version.
Letter Formation Practice– Here is an opportunity to trace letters and write letters on the lines.
Lowercase Alphabet Line- Finally, kids can search for and circle the focus letter among the other lowercase letters in the alphabet.

6. Alphabet Letter Books That Assemble in a Snap

My little alphabet letter books are simple, uncluttered, and are a great way to help kids understand print. The simple, predictable text and pictures are easy for kids to read aloud. Your kids will have the opportunity to practice letter recognition and phonological awareness.

Print the full-page book and use it in the class library and print off the little books for a literacy activity that you can send home with your kids.

Each little book contains a cover, 2-3 picture pages, and a letter tracing page.

Kids can finger trace, color or use rainbow writing on the large letters on the cover of each book.
There is simple predictable text on each picture page.
Kids can read the sentence on the picture pages, circle the letter within the sentence, and color the pictures.
The letter formation page provides young children an opportunity to trace and write both capital and lowercase letters. A simple starting dot is a great way to help kids learn letter formation without other distractions.

Busy teachers appreciate that the little books are easy to assemble. Check out this video to see how easy it is to assemble four books in a snap.

Because so many people started teaching preschool at home during the pandemic, I updated the to include an option where you won’t end up with 4 copies of the same book.

7. Learning Letters with Fine Motor Activities

Get out the q-tips and learn letters and work on fine motor control with these fun cards. Your kids will learn to recognize letters and proper letter formation (note that the starting point is highlighted) with this fun activity. Check out this article about learning letters with fine motor activities to get more activity ideas.

8. Sorting Words by Beginning Letter and Sound

This ABC picture sort activity gives children the opportunity to practice phonemic awareness skills. The beginning sound sorting activity includes a complete set of uppercase and lowercase letter boards as well as 52 picture cards (2 for each letter of the alphabet).

You can assemble the cards so that they have the name of the pictured object written on the backside.

Ideas for sorting activities and small group games are included.

9. Alphabet Coloring & Activity Pages with a Secret

Finally, these coloring and activity pages will provide children the opportunity to practice letter recognition, letter-sound association, and letter formation. I designed the pages (like many of the activities) in a simple manner so that young kids will not be overwhelmed. The pages are no-prep….just print, copy, and go!

Flexible Options! These activity pages come in half sheet and full sheet sizes. There are two pages for the letter “X” (one with x as a beginning letter and one with x as an ending letter) There is one page for all other letters. Use the pages individually or bind them into an alphabet activity book. Laminate the pages to use them over and over again in a writing center.

Kids can perform the following activities on each page. Don’t forget to find the hidden letters!

Color or finger trace large letters.
Reinforce letter-sound awareness as they “read” and color pictures for each letter.
Trace uppercase and lowercase letters.
Print uppercase and lowercase letters.
PLUS Search for 6 small letters hidden on each page

plan their strength, build relationships with the team, be responsible for their actions.One of the most difficult childhood crises is associated with this age, when the child loses spontaneity, begins to hide something, chooses an object to follow.The desire of parents to accelerate the development of the child is superimposed on the psychological crisis 7 years old, requirements of good studies and exemplary behavior. Do not look for developmental aids that separate classes by gender. It is useful for both boys and girls to complete tasks and play educational games for 7 years old, which contain both cars with tanks and dolls with bears. Such tasks enrich vocabulary and contribute to the overall development of speech. Note that speaking aloud the answers to any questions from our training tasks should be given special attention. It is important for children of 7 years old, both preschoolers and first graders, to be able to retell questions and tasks in their own words. And also explain why they chose one or another answer. nine0003

Playful activities

Your child will have a fun and productive time.

Children are engaged with pleasure, are completely immersed in the learning process and achieve results. For children under 6 who have not yet learned to read, we voiced each task.

Cups and medals for children

Awards that motivate children to achieve success.

Each child has his own “hall of awards and achievements”. If the tasks are completed correctly, children receive cups, medals and nominal diplomas. The awards can be shared on social networks, and the diploma can be printed. nine0003

Personal training

Fully controlled development of the child.

We save all the successes of the child and show you what you should pay special attention to. Make up your own training programs so that the child develops harmoniously in all the right directions.

Didactic games and exercises on the formation of phonemic analysis in younger students with speech disorders

determination of the presence of a sound in a word. Isolation of sound at the beginning, at the end of the word. Determination of the first and last sound in a word, as well as its place (beginning, middle, end of a word). The development of complex forms of phonemic analysis (determining the sequence, number and place of sounds in relation to other sounds in a word). In order for the work on the development of phonemic analysis to be systematic and continued throughout the school year (and not limited to several lessons at the stage of literacy), and also not to take up much time in the classroom, it is effective to conduct such exercises in the form of didactic games. The use of didactic games as one of the most productive means of learning allows, firstly, to teach children cheerfully, joyfully, without coercion. nine0003

Secondly, along with the formation and development of phonemic perception, the game helps organize the child's activities, enriches him with new information, activates mental activity, attention, and, most importantly, stimulates speech. As a result, children have an interest in the lessons of the Russian language, and love for their native language is brought up.

Thirdly, the game can be used in various ways (sometimes only fragments of the game can be used), while updating the speech material and including didactic material on the Russian language of a different level in it. Fourthly, using the example of a didactic game, a teacher can implement tasks not only for the development of phonemic perception itself, but also solve specific tasks of the lesson itself, which are related to the key issues of the Russian language program in elementary school. nine0003

A set of game exercises for the formation of phonemic analysis in younger students with speech disorders consists of three main sections:

1. Identification of sound against the background of a word. Here you can offer the following tasks, games and exercises: Raise your hand, clap your hands, or stomp your foot, or raise a card with the letter P if the word has the sound P (or another sound, depending on the purpose of the lesson). Words are called by a speech therapist. Example words: frame, nose, fisherman, hat. Determine if the word has an R sound or not. If there is a p sound in the word, raise your hand; if there is no p sound, stomp your foot: flour, steam, rocket, winter, lemon, castle. Select subject pictures, in the name of which there is a sound r. Determine in which of the two words the sound R is heard. It's a pity - hot, good - bad, cancer - varnish, feast - drank, frame - lama. Name vegetables, fruits, or toys that have the sound r in their names. The game "Who is more?" nine0003

Purpose: Finding sound in the names of objects in the picture. Equipment. A plot picture, which depicts objects with a certain sound. Description of the game: The teacher shows the children a picture, for example, "Garden". After looking at the picture, the teacher offers to tell what the children collect in the garden. Then the children are tasked with saying in the name of which objects there is a sound p (sound c). Each word is given a token. The one with the most chips wins. Let's play this game with you. nine0003

Exercise "Get up"

Purpose: isolating the sound against the background of the word, fixing the sound-letter connections. Content: there is a table in front of the child. Starting from the bottom step, the child goes up, stepping with his finger from one step to another. by ear: “There is a sound Sh in the spoken word - get up, no - stop” based on your own pronunciation: “Name the words with the sound Sh” based on dry pronunciation ideas: Look at the pictures, think if there is a sound Sh in their name. if there is Get up, no, stop. Rising up, the child looks at what is behind the “curtains”, determines the presence or absence of a sound in a word. At subsequent stages, this visual material can be used by determining 1, 2,3,4, 5, the last sound in the word, associated with the corresponding letter. nine0003

Exercise "Gingerbread man in the forest"

Purpose: highlighting the sound against the background of the word. Instruction: "To the clearing, on which the sound C in the name of the object, the Gingerbread Man will roll along a straight path, the sound C - along a winding one." Children, having determined the presence of a sound in a word, lay out the corresponding track. Exercise "Pick up a couple" Purpose: highlighting the sound against the background of the word. Content: in front of the child lies a table divided into two halves. One has a picture. The child determines the presence of the studied sound in the word. Cadet of the corresponding color letter in the designated place of the table. Puts a picture on the clean half of the table, in the name of which there is a similar sound. At subsequent stages, this visual material can be used by determining 1, 2,3,4, 5, the last sound in the word, associated with the corresponding letter. 2. Isolation of the first and last sound from the word, determination of its place (beginning, middle, end of the word). nine0003

Exercise "Herringbone"

Purpose: definition of the first (last) sound in a word, consolidation of sound-letter connections. Content: in front of each child is a table with an image of a Christmas tree with yellow and orange balls. Instruction: "Define the first (last) sound in the word, designate it with a letter and put it on a yellow ball" (similar to orange). At subsequent stages, this visual material can be used by determining 2,3,4, 5, the last sound in the word. nine0003

Exercise "Fire the Christmas Tree"

Purpose : Identify the first and last sound in a word. Content: in front of the children is a table depicting a Christmas tree with lanterns. Children must “light them up” by placing circles of a certain color. Lanterns are indicated by numbers (the first word is the first flashlight, etc.) Instruction: "Listen to the word, name the first sound in the word, put the corresponding circle." At subsequent stages, this visual material can be used by determining 2,3,4, 5, the last sound in the word, given by the flashlight number (lighting the first flashlight - select the first sound, lighting the second - select the second sound in the word, etc. )

Exercise: Speech Lotto

Purpose : Identify the first and last sound in a word. Content: the child has picture cards. The child must close the picture with the letter that will be the first when writing this word. Exercise "Tell Petrushka the sound." Purpose: to determine the last sound in a word. Content: Parsley shows pictures and names them without finishing the last sound. The kids have to tell him.

Exercise: "Hedgehog"

Purpose: determining the place of sound in a word. Instruction: “Help the hedgehog get to the forest clearing. To do this, name the words in which the studied sound is at the beginning, middle and end of the word. Children name the words, following the appearance of the corresponding color in a certain place in the word scheme.

Exercise "Magic rug"

Purpose : isolating the first (last) sound in a word, fixing sound-letter connections. Content: in front of each child is a set of blue, green, red squares (18 pieces). Children, having heard the first sound in the word, put a square of the corresponding color, laying out a rug pattern of nine squares, designating the sound with a letter that they put on the square. The speech therapist offers to compose words from letters located on blue and red squares, then on green and red. nine0003

Magic rug exercise. In this version, the square is not a graphic representation of the sound in the word.

Purpose: determination of the place of sound in a word. Content: in front of each child is a set of squares of blue, green, red colors on the typesetting canvas of the table. Instruction: "Put a blue square if the sound being studied is at the beginning of the word, a red square at the end of the word, a green square at the middle of the word." Children put a square of the corresponding color, laying out the pattern of the rug. At the subsequent stages of work, children are offered a pattern of blue, green, red squares. Children select words with a given sound, focusing on the color of the square. nine0003

Exercise "Snake"

Purpose: determination of the place of sound in a word. Content: the table is exposed. Children select words where the given sound would be at the beginning, middle, end. Depending on the sound, the circles can be blue, green or red.

Exercise "Traffic lights"

Purpose: definition of the first (last) sound in a word. Content: three traffic lights are displayed on the typesetting canvas. Children must “light” a certain light at the traffic light, respectively putting a picture near the traffic light. If the first sound in the word is a vowel, the child puts a picture near the traffic light in which the red light should light up (by analogy, blue and green). Children are explained that these traffic lights are for the word, not for people, so the blue light lights up, not yellow. At subsequent stages, this visual material can be used by determining 2,3,4, 5, the last sound in the word. nine0003

Determining the sequence, the amount of sound in a word. Establishing the place of a sound in a word in relation to other sounds.

Exercise "Secret word"

Instruction : "Identify the first sound of the word, combine them and you will find out the secret word that is hidden in these cells." Children determine the secret word. To consolidate sound-letter connections, sounds are indicated by letters. By analogy, 2, 3, 4 are determined, the last sound in the word, the sound given by the number in order, the sound given by the number in a breakdown. nine0003

Exercise "Labyrinth"

Purpose: determination of the sequence and number of sounds in a word. Instruction: "Help Seryozha get to the New Year's holiday by correctly naming the words that fit these schemes. " Children name words based on pictures and without them.

Exercise "Shop"

Purpose: determination of the number of sounds in a word. Content: pictures are displayed on the typesetting canvas, in the name of which there is a certain number of sounds (3, 4, 5, 6). For children, “money” is cards that show the numbers 3,4,5,6. Children buy the appropriate item (for "money" with the number 3, you can buy an item with three sounds in its name). By analogy, you can buy for "money" - cards with red circles drawn objects, in the name of which one, two, three, four vowel sounds. For "money" with one circle, you can buy an item in the name of which there is one vowel sound. The use of the described games and exercises allows children to form auditory self-control skills, the ability to determine the sequence, number and location of sounds in relation to other sounds of the word, to perform the action of sound analysis in inner speech.
