Alphabet

I just found a neat game for kids called Alphabet Marks the Spot. It's like twister, with a twist. It's an alphabet mat. The goal of the game is to run to the beginning letter of the picture on the dice before your opponent.

If you don't want to buy the game here's another way to do it. It's not as durable but it would work.

I thought of a way to make your own game out of paper. Put all the alphabet letters on construction paper and lay them out on the floor. Then make cards with pictures on them each picture beginning with a different letter. You can then just show the picture and have your kids run to find the right letter. You can also have them find the ending sound or use these letters to practice their spelling words. What a great way to be learning while active.
