This morning we spent a bit of time outside looking for a missing alphabet.
I saw this idea at Fantastic and Fun Learning and adapted it to work for our centre. I hid magnetic letters, A-Z, around our playground before we went outside.
The children were to quick to run around the play structure searching and
finding letters.
As they found letters they added them to our alphabet line.
Matching the letters then running back to look for more.
The activity provided an opportunity to introduce letters and to reinforce
letters in each child’s name.
Another benefit of printing the letters on the ground for the children
to match was to make sure we found all the letters.
