Skip to Secondary Navigation. Little Bins for Little Hands gives the classic sensory bins a twist by using objects that all start with the same letter. Tape the letter on the front of each box, or let the kids guess the letter as they examine the objects.
Either way, these sensory bins transform a fun, hands-on play activity into a literacy lesson. Tape a bunch of letters to a wall, call out the sounds and have your kids throw the snowball at the letter represented. As an added bonus, kids get to work on their coordination as well as their alphabet. Your little finger-paint lovers will enjoy this letter activity from Happy Toddler Playtime.
Start by writing large letters spread out on the paper. Then instruct your child to dip their finger on the ink pad and make fingerprints along each letter. A deck of cards and some duct tape can transform any wall into a correspondence and number recognition system. This one could even turn into a class scavenger hunt with cards taped on surfaces throughout the room.
Teach simple word families with this activity suggested by Fun-A-Day. Golf tees stuck in a Styrofoam base create the perfect platform to interchange different letters written on ping-pong balls.
This game lends itself to giggling and throwing the ping-pong balls, and all shenanigans can count as literacy training. Draw a grid on a piece of paper, and place a number in each box. Provide your students with a sheet of number stickers, and let them move the numbers into the box with the matching number. After all of the numbers are used up, encourage them to write each number themselves in the corresponding box. If you or your kiddos have the time to collect 52 rocks, this uppercase and lowercase literacy activity could begin in the great outdoors.
Wash the rocks, and write an uppercase letter on one side, with the corresponding lowercase letter on the opposite side. Then show words or pictures on index cards, and challenge kids to recreate the word.
Another great activity from Hands on as We Grow , this will give your little one triple the fun while practicing name writing. Start by writing their name in large letters with a highlighter on a piece of paper. First, ask them to trace the highlighted letters with a pencil. Then, have them trace the letters with glue, followed by yarn do steps 2 and 3 one letter at a time to avoid a sticky mess! This triple reinforcement will help the child learn their name letters and leave them with a fun craft at the end.
Collect some free paint sticks from a home improvement store, and make these phonological awareness tools from Pre-K Pages. Directions and pictures of the paint sticks come with free printouts to make your job just a little easier.
This twist on the traditional bingo game comes from Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls. Simply make bingo cards with 16 letters on each card, and cut little squares of paper to write the corresponding letters on. Put these squares in a pile for the caller to pull from. For bingo markers, you can use legos, cheerios or anything else you have around.
Another familiar game, this version of Go Fish from How Wee Learn will have your kiddos learning letters without even knowing it. Cut paper into card-sized squares, and write a letter on each one, making two of each letter.
Split the cards between the players, and follow the standard rules of the game to make as many matching letter pairs as you can. Letters drawn out with whipped cream on tinfoil begin this activity. Provide the students with sprinkles and other cookie-decorating accessories, and let them decorate their letter. Kids Creative Chaos promotes this playtime for its engagement with all five senses while the children work on their letter. Old scrabble games are the perfect literacy tool to play with.
The Kids Creative Chaos blog recommends arranging the letters to form rhyming words with children who are interested and allowing everyone to play with the tiles as they like.
Even if the kids wind up building houses out of the scrabble letters, they are still seeing the letters and establishing familiarity. The Many Little Joys shares this fun preschool learning activity that only requires Popsicle sticks, a marker and a small cup or bucket.
Have your child pull out one stick at a time, reading the letter or making the sound of each one. We all know little ones love to play. So why not leverage that playtime for learning? This list of literacy activities for preschoolers is a great start for introducing youngsters to letters and setting the stage for lifelong learning!
