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.

What was your favorite abc game? Did we miss some alphabet activities that you do with your kids?

Educational games with letters / Methods of early development of preschool children, problems of education and training / Luntiki. We develop children.

Creativity and toys

I think that many children among their toys will find a set of multi-colored magnetic letters , and there is probably a magnetic board. Although, instead of a magnetic board, you can use a refrigerator, which is even more fun, because children always like to use objects for other than their intended purpose. Therefore, playing with letters on the refrigerator will be much more interesting for the baby than on the board intended for this. And games with letters are very useful, as they develop speech, thinking and imagination of the child.

So what games can play with the letters ?

Game "TRANSFORMATION OF WORDS"

In this game, we offer the kid to be a wizard. And the secret of “magic” is this: by replacing only one letter in the proposed word, you can turn it into another word with a different meaning. First, choose simple words for "witchcraft" that consist of three letters.

SOK - CURRENT - KOK. Ask the child to lay out the word SOK from the letters of the magnetic alphabet. Then offer to turn it, replacing just one letter, into what is in the electrical outlet. Give the baby time to think and guess for himself that this is a TOK. Then, changing one letter again, turn the word into ship's cook (COC).

LION - FOREST. Lay out the word LION with your child. Then do a little magic on the letters - and a formidable predator will become a place where many trees grow.

BOW - LAK - LAZ. Let the child make the word BOW from the magnetic letters. Then he will turn this vegetable into something that paints nails (or covers furniture) - LAC. After that, ask the baby to make a hole out of the word LAK through which you can climb (LAZ).

BEETLE - BITCH - TUK - BOW. The child lays out the word BEETLE, then turns it into a sharp branch on a tree (SUK), then into a sound that is obtained when they knock with a hammer (TUK). And then this word will become a vegetable that is added to soup and salad.

BOB - LOB. Lay out the word BOB with your child and explain what it means. Then change the grain so that you get a part of the face (FRONT).

HOUSE - SMOKE. Give the baby three letters - D, O, M - and ask them to add the word for the building (HOUSE). Then ask to transform this word into what is formed during the burning of a fire (SMOKE).

WORLD - PIR. What happens when there is no war? Of course! Let the baby lay out the word WORLD. Then change one letter so that WORLD turns into a big feast where guests are treated to delicious food (PIR).

Other chains of words can be played in a similar way: KOM - TOM - HOUSE, CHEESE - SOR - THIEF, BOR - FIGHT - BOK, GOD - DOG, DAM - GIFT, OX - GOL - KOL - FLOOR, TANK - BOK, BULL - BUK, WAS - BALL.

If your child enjoys the game and has already learned how to easily change simple words, you can choose to play with more complex words consisting of 2-3 syllables.

BOAT - SPOON. Write the word BOAT with your child. Then offer to replace one letter in the word so that what they swim on turns into what they eat (SPONN).

RAM - BANANA. Make up the word RAM from magnetic letters. A little witchcraft - and the animal will turn into a sweet fruit.

PEA - CITY. Together with the child, lay out the word PEA from the magnetic letters. Then turn it into a place where there are many houses, roads, cars and people.

COW - CROWN. Ask the child to “write” the word COW and then change one letter so that the animal becomes the headdress of the king.

The game can also be continued with other words: SLIDE - MINK, SQUIRREL - BUN, CLOUDS - HANDLE - Bug, DAY - STUMP - SHADOW - LAZINESS, POINT - DAUGHTER - BUMP - BARREL - KIDNEY.

The game "LETTERS REPLACE"

This is another interesting game. And again, the baby can feel like a magician! After all, there are words that consist of the same letters, but the letters are arranged in a different order, therefore the meanings of the words are different. And it is very interesting to guess what new word is hidden in the given one! We select options by rearranging the letters in places.

AU - UA. Here is the baby crying wow. And now let's turn this word into another - as if the baby was lost in the forest (put the word AU together with the baby)

RAK - CAR. Invite the child to lay out the word CANCER, and then swap the letters so that the river dweller turns into a loud cry of a big bird.

LAZ - HALL. Ask the child to make the word LAZ, and then make a large and spacious room (HALL) out of a narrow passage.

MOUNTAIN - HORN. Let the kid lay out the word MOUNTAIN from magnetic letters, and then rearrange the letters in places so that the mountain becomes what grows on the head of an elk or deer (HORN).

BANK - BOAR. Lay out the word BANK with your child. Then swap the letters so that the glassware turns into a wild animal that lives in the forest and loves acorns very much (BOAR).

We gave examples of the game, when the baby is given a hint - a description of the meaning of a new word. You can complicate the game: let the little one independently guess what the word is.

CURRENT - CAT. Spell out the word TOK. Ask the baby how to swap the letters in places so that you get a different word? What's this word? Let the child guess for himself. Continue the game with other words: YEAR - DOG, WORD - HAIR, MADY - SLAVE, CITY - ROAD.
Game "LETTER RUN"

If you remove just one letter from some words, you get a completely new word! Give the child the opportunity to visually verify this with the help of the same magnetic alphabet.

MOLE - MOUTH. Ask your child to spell out the word MOLE. And then - remove one letter from the word so that the underground inhabitant turns into a part of the face (ROT).

KIDNEYS - GLASSES. Make up the word KIDNEYS, and then remove one letter from the word so that the KIDNEYS on the branch, in which green leaves are hidden, suddenly become a glass object in a frame, which is needed for those who see poorly (or which grandmother has).

THUNDER - ROSE. Together with the crumbs, lay out the word THUNDER. And then remove one letter from the word - the formidable element will miraculously turn into a beautiful flower (ROSE).

WOLF - VOLK. Ask the kid to write the word WOLF in magnetic letters, and then remove one letter so that the predatory and dangerous forest animal turns into a completely peaceful domestic animal (VOLK).

These were variants of the game with descriptive prompts for the baby. Of course, there are other options for tasks in which the baby must find the answer on his own: GUNS - EARS, BATH - ANNA, SCREEN - CRANE, SPIDER - OSA.

The game "SYLLOGUE RUN"

You can play a similar game with syllables: if you remove one syllable from some words, they turn into other words! But before offering this game to the child, it is worth getting acquainted with the syllabic structure of the word. A little hint: clapping your hands with the simultaneous pronunciation of the word (one syllable - one clap) helps to divide the word into syllables.

SAND - JUICE. Spell out the word SAND. Ask the child to read the word and highlight the syllables with claps, name the first syllable, the second syllable. Then offer to remove one syllable from the word so that it turns out a completely different word. If the baby can’t guess on his own, tell him: “Remove one syllable from the word SAND so that it turns into a delicious fruit drink” (JUICE).

PIE - HORN. Let the kid lay out the word PIE and name its syllables. Then ask them to remove one syllable to create a new word. If the child is at a loss, prompt: “Remove one syllable from the word PIE so that delicious food turns into something that grows on the nose of a rhinoceros.”

HAMMOCK - POPPY: In the same way, ask the baby to make a flower out of a bed for sleeping and resting.

Continue to play with other words: BUTTERFLY - BARREL, SWAMP - LOTTO, SAILOR - CABLE, BASKET - ZINA, Zucchini - TANK.

The described games are useful for the development of speech, they help to teach the child to listen to words more attentively, pay attention to their spelling, and understand the meaning. All this develops literacy, which is very useful for the crumbs both at school and in life.

Magic Letters Game

There are amazing words that can become the subject of a whole fairy tale. Let's get acquainted with one of them.

VICTORY
(According to the fairy tale by S. Pogorelovsky)

One letter can work miracles.

Pencil drew a lawn. She has a Pobeda car. Wrote under the picture: VICTORY (lay out with the baby this word from the letters of the magnetic alphabet).
Peeked into the lawn Hedgehog. He liked the letter P. “I will put it,” he thinks, “in front of my house. There will be good gates.” He put the letter on his back and took it away. (Remove the letter P, and in the future - other letters, in the text).
The Bear came, gloomy, hungry. Immediately began to complain:
— I don’t have today…
LUNCH, said the letters.
- Right! the Bear barked. - Oh, honey to eat! Yes, stock up for the winter! Here, by the way, is the hoop for the tub.
He took the letter O under his arm and stomped to the apiary. And on the lawn the Bunny jumped out. Trembling, looking around. Suddenly I saw a terrible word: TROUBLE.
- Oh, where's the trouble? - Bunny rushed about.
I ran into the letter B with a fright. She bounced off, and the Bunny rushed off into the forest.
The stork has arrived. I saw a tasty word: FOOD. And in the grass, food is true: frogs - as much as you want. Stork attached a stick to the letter E, it turned out a fork. The stork ate, flew away and took the fork away.
Then Baran came, bleated offendedly:
- They say that I'm stupid. Am I stupid?
And the letters to him:
- YES.
Baran got angry. He ran up, hit the letter D with his horns, and it crumbled. The last letter left is A. She stands alone. What can she do without friends? Just cry: ah-ah-ah!
Comfort the letter A as soon as possible - put your friends and comrades next to it to get new words!
