Idea:
Write the letter of the day/week on a piece of construction paper (at the top or
top corner maybe) then have children look through magazines to find pictures of
items that start with that letter. (good practice of the sound of the letter you
are teaching). Let the children cut out the pictures and glue them to the
construction paper.

Idea:
Go to your local dollar store and purchase a set or two of alphabet stamps and
stamp pads. Have the children stamp the letters. Depending on their ages, you
can have then stamp their name or other words too.

Idea:
On the chalk board, felt board, or paper, draw the first letter or the name of a
child and ask all the children who's name it is (who's name starts with this
letter?)

Idea:
Prepare a large replica of the letter you are learning. Blindfold one child at a
time and have another child hide the letter. Remove the blindfold and as the
child searches for the hidden letter have the children say three or four words
over and over that start with your letter (ex.Big,Blue,Bear) and increasingly
louder as the child gets closer to the letter. The children have fun with this
game.

Idea:
After reading the story Chicka-chicka Boom Boom. At the Art table I painted a
brown tree trunk, and palm trees with coconuts Or the children could help do
this also. I then let the children dip Alphabet shapes into red paint, and the
children made stamps on and around the tree. Our Chicka Chicka Boom boom tree
was a success!! The children enjoyed it as well as the parents!!

Help the child print their name at the top of a piece of paper. Next give
them a magazine to look through looking for items that start with each of the
letters in their name. Glue the pictures under the correct letter.

Idea:
Each day you can use a different letter. Cut out a big bubble letter of the
day (or let the kids cut it out) Have the children glue on different things that
start with the letter. For example: Cut the letter A out of construction paper.
Let the children either glue on small red circles (for apples) or make finger
print circles. We did this and although it took a long time, the children
enjoyed looking at their alphabet hanging on the wall in the hallway.
