We all know little ones love to play. So why not take leverage that playtime for learning at Alphakids International preschool in Hyderabad? This list of literacy activities for toddlers is a great start for introducing youngsters to letters and setting the stage for lifelong learning!

7 Fun Activities For Preschoolers

1. Connect-the-dots With Letters

We came up with a letter familiarity activity at Alphakids preschool in Hyderabad that will get your little ones moving and their creative juices flowing. Good old connect-the-dots gets revamped when you write a handful of repeating letters in random patterns down a length of butcher’s paper. Kids can connect the letters in any way they like, so long as all of the G’s are connected to the other G’s, and so on.

2. Alphabet Knockdown

We came up with this fantastic letter recognition game, especially recommended for kids who love knocking things over. The preparation is minimal and only requires a pool noodle, some popsicle sticks and letter stickers. Once you’ve made the letters on their pool noodle feet, give your child a ball, call out a letter and see if they can knock it down!

3. Children’s Book In A Bottle

These cheap and completely customizable literacy tools could be thrown together in an afternoon as a kinesthetic addition to the kids’ favourite stories. We at Alphakids preschool in Mumbai have students pass the bottle around while they read a story in class. We report that the bottles keep the students calm while engaging more of their attention in the story. The post on Teach Preschool includes directions, materials and even pictures for easy reference.

4. Crocodile Circle

Picture a bin with a crocodile face on top, filled with letters and surprise cards. Students of alpha kids preschool in Mumbai pass the crocodile around the circle singing Crocodile, crocodile down by the lake, I’m going to reach right in and see what (letter) you ate. The student holding the crocodile then pulls a letter and calls it out. Extra surprise cards can let you repeat a turn, reverse directions or anything else you want to include. Making Learning Fun includes directions and free printables to make things easy.

5. Letter Matching Archaeology Game

The perfect accompaniment to a dinosaur-themed unit, this activity from How Wee Learn allows students to practise letter recognition while playing archaeologist. Drop a few magnetic letters onto a cookie sheet, writing the letters you chose on a piece of paper for your students to use as a key. Cover the letters in flour and give the kids a makeup brush to carefully ‘search the site’ for hidden letters. When they find one, they must match it to their paper key before continuing the hunt.

6. Mini Alphabet Sensory Bins

This one is especially suited for a classroom environment and could be a staple setup in any preschool teacher’s arsenal. Little Bins for Little Hands gives the classic sensory bins a twist by using objects that all start with the same letter. Tape the letter on the front of each box, or let the kids guess the letter as they examine the objects. Either way, these sensory bins transform a fun, hands-on play activity into a literacy lesson.

7. Snowball Throw Alphabet Game.

Paper, tape and ping-pong balls are all you need for this game of ‘snowball’ throwing. Tape a bunch of letters to a wall, call out the sounds and have your kids throw the snowball at the letter represented. As an added bonus, kids get to work on their coordination as well as their alphabet.
