WHAT’S INCLUDED
This free sample of the Snowman ABC Scavenger Hunt includes:
- Large, colorful cut out letter cards
- Traceable letter recording sheet
HOW TO PLAY
Grab a printable sheet and let your kids start hunting! Encourage kids to look throughout your home or classroom to find each alphabet letter as provided in this printable activity. You can even take this activity outside if the weather allows.
The trace-it and write-it recording sheets can be laminated or added to pouches, allowing them to be used repeatedly and saving paper.
As kids find each letter, have them color it on their scavenger hunt page. This can be done independently or with a helper.
TIPS AND IDEAS FOR USE
This is a great way to differentiate instruction easily. You can specifically target letters that a child or group of children is working on learning. All students do not need to work on the same letters simultaneously. When in doubt, start with the letters in the child’s name.
WAYS TO USE THE LARGE LETTER CARDS:
- Use this as a whole or small group activity. You (or another student) pull a card from a stack and show it to students. Then, students find the letter on their recording sheet.
- Display the letters around the room. Then, use it as a literacy center option where students find the letters around the room and fill out their response sheets.
- If you let kids gather the letters, have them display them again for the next group. You can easily differentiate this option by having kids use different response sheet options.
- Use them as a deck of cards face down and have kids pull from the stack to mark the letter they’ve found on their sheet.
