Wohoo!  We are now half way through the alphabet with our letter of the week show and tell ideas.  Today I’m sharing show and tell letter N ideas and I hope this helps you figure out something your preschooler can take in to share. Update! I added to the list some and now I have 40 ideas below!

 General Show and Tell Tips:

• Look through your kid’s stuffed animals and action figures.  Sometimes you can find a character whose name starts with the letter that you need.
• Look through your child’s books.  You might find a book with a title that begins with the letter that you need
• When all else fails have your kiddo take in an alphabet block with the letter on it or a an alphabet letter magnet.
• My son once took in a picture that he colored from a coloring book.  The picture was of something that started with the letter of the week and he loved showing off his artwork during share time.

And this won’t help you think of anything but this last tip will help keep you out of a bind-

My #1 Show and Tell Tip

Set a reminder or alarm on your phone for the night before show and tell.

This way you won’t forget and scramble to find something in your car while you wait in the drop off line for school.

Yes, yes that did happen to me. Don’t be me. You’re better than that!

What can you do with the ‘objects that start with N’ list? I’m glad you asked. Here are some reading, writing, alphabet, spelling, and vocabulary activity ideas to get you started.

• Read Books that Feature Objects that Begin with N: Reading is great for letter recognition and building vocabulary! So, get some picture books for letter N and have some fun reading with your little ones! Here are two examples of N object books to get you started: The Nose Book by Al Perkins and The Nutcracker by Susan Jeffers.

• Play the Object Guessing Game – To play this game, gently blindfold your student and explain that you are going to hand them an object that begins with the letter N, and you would like them to guess what it is. This is a fantastic vocabulary activity that causes kids to think through all the N words they’ve heard and seen.

• Do Finger Spelling in Sand: Have fun with spelling by practicing new N words using your fingers in a shallow pan of sand. (If you don’t have access to sand, you can use a dish with cornmeal or sugar). To switch things up, try using your toes. This sensory spelling activity is a fun and engaging way for your students to practice their spelling.

• Do an N Objects Unscramble: See if you kids can unscramble the items that begin with N. To start, write a N word on a chalkboard or white board with the letters all mixed up. Next, see if your students can unscramble the letters and figure out what the mystery word is. (If you have a group of kids, you can make it a contest to see which team can unscramble the quickest.)

However, some of the words the baby may meet for the first time, the meaning of such words is quite easy to explain. Try to explain the new words so that they become clear and enter into the speech of the baby.

Chickpeas - Turkish peas. Bean plant. Delicious dishes are prepared from it.
