Letter/Object Game

A good group activity. Try to give turns to all the kids who want them, even if a few kids get a little restless.

Objectives

Children who participate will be able to matches phonetic sound of letter to object beginning with that letter, give phonetic sound for letters, identify letters, and children ages 1-1 ½ will be able to identify objects Lang. IB

Materials

3 to 6 large letters of the alphabet (S, T, M, P, F); a large bag filled with a variety of objects which begin with those sounds.

Procedures

1. Tape the letters on the wall above a table so that objects can be placed in front of the letters.

2. Choose one child to come up and take an object out of the bag and identify it. Help the child hear the initial letter sound by exaggerating the sound.

3. Child then places the object in front of the appropriate letter (give help if needed).

4. Younger children may not be able to do more than name the object. Encourage the group to help by determining the initial sound and correct letter.

5. Continue until all the objects are placed. If the children still want to keep playing the game, put all the objects back in the bag and start again.
