Try an Alphabet Scavenger Hunt!
Instructions:
- Find something that starts with each letter of the alphabet around your house, and make a list or draw what you find for each letter.
Suggestions:
- You don’t have to find the items in the order of the alphabet if you don’t want to.
- Can’t find an item that starts with a particular letter? Try to find an item with that letter in the word, or make up a funny new name that starts with the letter you need!
- Can you find an item you can use for more than one letter? For example, if you find a banana, you could use that for the letter B, but a banana is also a food, so you could also use it for the letter F!
- Most of all, get creative and have fun!
(If you get stuck on a particular letter, scroll down! Below are some ideas for objects you might have around the house.)
