My daughter has been singing the Alphabet Song for months now and recognizes most of the letters, but we need more practice with uppercase/lowercase letter recognition. A good way to practice that is with a game! I put together this match game to help make learning fun and easier for her to see the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. As we find the matches, it has also been helpful to go over each of the letter's sounds.
In case you are new to match/memory games, here are some instructions:
- Lay out the cards, face-down on a table or floor.
- Turn one card over, then turn another card over to try and make a match.
- If no match is made, turn both cards over and take another turn. If multiple children are playing, it is the next person's turn.
- If a match is made, the player gets to go again.
- Repeat until all the matches are found.
If your little one {or... you} have too much fun playing this Alphabet Match game like we do, I highly recommend having the cards laminated to have them last longer! I printed the cards on high quality cardstock. To get a pattern* on the back of the cards, print a design on one side of the paper {or use one-sided scrapbook paper}, and print the cards on the opposite side. When you cut, the cards will have the letters on one side, and the pattern on the back.

ReplyDeleteGreat game! I need to print this out for my three year old. She's getting really good with capital letters, but needs some practice with the lowercase. This might be a motivating activity to try.
