Go on an alphabet scavenger hunt outdoors or indoors and challenge yourself to find objects that start with each letter of the alphabet. Take photos or draw pictures of the objects found for a creative alphabet scrapbook.
Incorporate movement and mindfulness into alphabet learning. Assign each letter a yoga pose that begins with that letter’s sound. For example, “S” can be “Snake Pose,” and “D” can be “Dog Pose.”
Choose a letter of the alphabet and involve yourself in preparing a snack or meal that starts with that letter. For example, make “A” is for “Apple Slices” or “P” is for “Pizza.”
Let yourself create art projects using cut-out letters from magazines, newspapers, or colored paper. You can make collages of words that start with each letter or create letter-themed art.
