Christmas Games for Learning the Alphabet

Directions for Christmas Games for Learning the Alphabet

Alphabet Hide and Go Seek:

In this game one player leaves the room or closes his eyes while another hides the letters of the alphabet around the room.  The player returns and finds the hidden letters saying their names (or sounds) as they are found.  For an added challenge, have the child assemble them in abc order to see if all the alphabet Christmas trees have been found.

What’s Missing?

Select 5 Christmas tree letter cards that are in alphabet order such as l, m, n, o, p. Set them in a row. Have the child close their eyes. Take one letter away.  Encourage the child to open their eyes and name the letter and sound of the missing alphabet Christmas tree card.

Letter Match-up

Select 3-5 uppercase and lowercase letters to begin with. Have the child match the same letters together Bb, Gg, Mm… Turn the Christmas tree cards upside-down and have the child turn the cards over one at a time until a match is made.

Jack Be Nimble

Select a letter card and use the child’s name in place of Jack.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the letter S.

Repeat several times. This activity combines learning the alphabet with gross motor movement.
