Capital/Lower-case Letter Game:
To help kids learn their capital and small letters cut out small hearts of a variety of colors and write a letter on each one. Place all the small letter hearts into a container. Divide the big letter hearts among the children (or play in teams). A heart will be pulled from the container and the child will say if the letter matches.

Riddle for the letter A
(Object: For each letter, cut 4 pictures out of magazines that begin with the intended letter and give them to the children. Make sure that 1 of the pictures is the item the riddle is about. After reading the riddle to the children, let them choose whichever picture is the answer.)
(For ages 2 to 5.)
Aa
A core in the middle and a stem on top. Picked from a tree or bought in a shop. Red, yellow, or green and, oh, so sweet. Crunchy to bite and healthy to eat. What is it?
Answer: apple
Memorize an “A” poem together:
Example: Aa A is for alligator. A is for ants. A is for apples on my pants.
Make up your own for other letters

My Body machine Literacy Project
1.
Have the children try to form their bodies to different letters. Try spelling words, like their name, and take pictures to make fun posters so the children can see what they look like as a letter.
2.
Cut out different body parts (arms, hands, feet, etc) and have the kids glue them on a piece of paper to form the letter ‘B’.

Literacy, ABC's Activity to go with the letter
In a box place items that start with the letter B, ball, banana, bandage, basket, bat, bear, bell, belt, bib, blanket, block, book, boot, bottle, bowl, brush, butterfly and so on. Take each one out and have your child tell you what each one is. - or- Do a "B"ackwards day - have a race walking backwards, or you can wear your clothes backwards.
This can be done for any letter. Just choose objects that begin with the letter that you are teaching. This is a good activity to use during circle time
