Candy Alphabet Floor 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 have students practice identifying letters and their sounds.
 




How to play the game:
Place candies around the room and have students find the candies.  Once they have found a candy then have them get with a partner.  With their partner have them share the letter and letter sound.
 
Another way is to make a path on the ground with them.  Have students step on the letters.  While they are stepping on the letters have them say the letter and the letter sound.
 
You can play mingle with the letters.  Give each student a letter.  Say “mingle”, students walk around the room until you say stop.  When you say stop have students find a person that is the closest to them to partner up with.  Then have them tell their partner the letter and the letter sound.  Before playing again have partners trade candies.  Repeat as many times as you want.
 
You can also make 2 copies of the letters.  Give each student a letter.  (Make sure that another student has a match to the letter.)  Then have students find the match to their letter.  Once they have found their match, have students say the letters name and sound. 
 
In a small or whole group, have students match uppercase to lowercase letters.  You can also give some students uppercase letters and then give other students the lowercase letters that match.  Then tell students to find their matches.  Once they do, have students say the name of the letter and its sound.
 
 
This activity comes with:
