Activity #39: Alphabet scavenger hunt
Description: The children had to find objects around the house that started with each letter of the alphabet. I wrote all the letters of the alphabet on a piece of paper. When the kids found an object they put it with the matching letter. For my son that loves road signs, he had to find come up with a street name that started with each letter. If he couldn’t think of one, he had to look it up in a map book.
Age: 3+ or when they know their alphabet
Purpose:
Alphabet
Matching
Phonics
Search and find
Prep time: minimal
What you’ll need: a piece of paper and marker
Fun Factor: My 3 year old sustained his attention until about “M” and then he lost interest. He enjoyed finding animals and objects to match the letters. My older son finished writing streets signs for each letter. It was somewhat difficult for him to think of a sign for each letter, but street signs are very motivating for him. At the time, I thought he didn’t enjoy it that much. However, a week later he asked to do it again.
