This engaging project is a great way to reinforce alphabet skills!

This activity is appropriate for:
pre-k – 1st grade / 4 – 6 years

You will need:

Directions

  1. Have students bring photos or old magazines from home and cut out pictures of things that start with each letter from A-Z.
  2. Encourage students to use the construction paper to create a book page for each letter. Have students clearly write the letter on the page and then use crayons, markers or colored pencils to decorate it.
  3. Students can use photo corners or tape to affix 1 or more pictures to each page. Pictures of items that start with “A” will go on the “A” page, and so on.
  4. When all the pages are ready, have students punch holes along the left side of each one.
  5. Have students create a cover and write the title “My ABC Book” on it. Remind students to include the “by ______” line. Then, have them punch holes along the left side of the cover.

Movement / Play

EXTRA MOVEMENT AND PLAY

Build an obstacle course in the backyard. Pretend to be America Ninja Warriors and see how quickly you can each get through the course.

Go fishing. In many states, kids can drop a line in without a license.

Hold a hula-hoop contest. See which family member can hula the longest.

Play miniature golf. Go to a local course or build your own course on the driveway.

Take bike rides for fun. Either leave from your own house or drive to biking trails.

Play balloon tennis. Gather a balloon, paper plates, and painting sticks and you are all set. Attach the sticks to the paper plates to make the paddles and use the balloon as the ball. This is a great activity for indoor or outdoor play.

Run in the yard. Play kickball, Frisbee, tag, and other outdoor games. You could even create your own summer Olympics.
