Brainstorm with the class an object that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Each object should be something inside the classroom. Provide every student with a large poster onto which they will glue the 26 objects corresponding to the letters of the alphabet. For example, the letter "C" might correspond to the object “cotton balls,” and so each student would glue a cotton ball onto their poster next to the letter C. This project may take more than one class period for completion.
Similar to “word search” puzzles, Alphabet Word Search asks students to simply find the correct letter in the alphabet. Write out five lines of random letters in a large font, including the target letter on each line at least one time. Print out the word puzzle and ask students to circle the target letter on each line. You can practice one letter for each game, or multiple letters. If practicing multiple letters on a single puzzle, make sure that each target letter is including on each line.
Split the class into two teams to compete against each other in Alphabet Scraps. Prepare 26 pieces of paper, each piece with one letter of the alphabet written on the top, for each team. Provide both teams with plenty of newspapers, magazines and other reading material. Ask them to find pictures beginning with each letter of the alphabet and paste it onto the sheet with the appropriate letter. The first team to finish furnishing all their pages with pictures wins the game.
The Alphabet Improv Game is great practice for students who already have a basic understanding of the alphabet, but need some practice using real words with each different letter. The game starts with a specified letter, it could be "A" or any other letter, and goes through the entire alphabet in 26 lines of dialogue. Each line must start with the appropriate letter in the dialogue. For instance, if the game starts with the letter "C," the first player must make a sentence starting with the letter "C." The next player then says a line starting with the letter "D," and so on.
