Candy Alphabet Card Game

 

Are you looking for a quick game that will review or teach students the alphabet, then this is the activity for you?  I love using this game in my classroom.  I usually play this game while in small groups.  This gives me the opportunity to really pay attention to what letters and sounds my students know, and which ones they do not know. 

 

The object of the game is to keep as many cards as you can.  When the game is over, whoever has the most cards wins.

How to play the game:

You can play the game by making two copies of the cards and then play Go Fish or Memory.  You can also print all of the cards and place them into a can or pencil box.  When a child pulls out a card, he/she has to say the letter name and sound to keep the card.  If he/she does not know the letter or the sound then the card is discarded.  When you get to the hard candies, the child that picked it, gets to take a card from someone else.  (The person that picked take a card gets to keep it).  When you get to the candy store, the game is over. (The person that picked the game over card gets to keep it.) When the game is over, count the number of cards.  Whoever has the most cards wins the game.

 

Modification: You can have students just tell you the letter or the sound.  If you have a student that struggles with letters and sounds, tell them the card that they picked and have them repeat it after you.  They still get to keep the card.

 

This activity comes with:

• 52 cards in color
• 52 cards in black and white
• 6 take a card cards
• 3 game over cards
• 9 cards blank that are in color
• 9 cards blank that are in black and white

Each card only has one letter on it.  The letters on the cards are upper and lowercase letters.  I also put some blank cards with the color pictures and black and white pictures.  You can use the blank cards to write in sight words or CVC words.
