Guest Post: Hands On Letter of the Week Activities

Guest post by Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler

I’m was so excited to be asked to participate in Alphabet Craze! I hope you will find my alphabet learning activities, fun and hands on. I’m sharing a few of my Letter A Activities with you today, and you can click here to see my entire Letter of the Week A-Z Curriculum!

Letter A Memory Verse:

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7

For our verses and accompanying games/stories we use the following books:
ABC Memory Verses & My ABC Bible Verses

Apple Large Floor Numbers: I made these large floor numbers so that we can play a hopscotch type game. I call out a number and she jumps to it! You could also have them put the cards in numerical order. The number cards go from 1-10.

Capital A/Lowercase a matching game: This is a great way to match up lowercase and uppercase letters. Simply cut the apples from pg2 and place them on top of the same or opposite letter case on the tree.

Apple Counting: This comes with a number sheet to go with it. I put velcro on the blank squares next to the apples and on the backs of the number cards. Then have your child match the number card to the apples based on how many seeds are on each apple. If you want you can cut each card out and make it into a booklet like the butterfly sample below:

Apple Color Puzzles: Cut out each apple then cut it in half in various ways to create color matching puzzles. Name each color as you put them together.

Apple Letter Matching: This is a fun letter matching activity, that practices both upper and lowercase letters recognition! If you're looking for more challenge, use the uppercase card with the lowercase letter disks or visa versa! (The download includes upper and lowercase letter disks and activity cards) Click here to see how to make the letter disks.

Letter A Do-A-Dot Page: We use Do-a-Dot Art Markers with this!
