Are you looking for a few more fun things to plug in as the days wind down before summer vacation?
Do you like to send a few things home with your kiddo’s over the summer, so that they don’t forget the things that they learned?
Or…
Are you starting to tuck a few things away for back-to-school ideas?
No matter what your reason, I think you’ll enjoy these cute alphabet activities.
One of my favorite clipart designers is Laura Strickand. I used her alphabet graphics to put together the packet: ABC Stuff.
The easy reader alphabet flipbook incorporates 60 Dolch words! Students trace the word and lowercase letter, which match the cute uppercase picture.
You can also laminate the pages and use them as pocket cards.
I’ve included an ABC anchor chart as well as 26 traceable flashcards, with a cover, so students can make an Itty Bitty booklet.
Make extra sets, run them off on a different color, laminate and turn them into Memory Match Concentration games.
Play “I Have; Who Has?” by passing out the cards and asking: “I have A. Who has B?” ˆ
Sprinkle the cards on the floor and have students sequence them, while singing the ABC song.

For a quick center activity, have students trace the upper and lowercase letters on these bookmarks. To reinforce vowels, have children trace them in a different color.
Students glue the strips to a piece of construction paper. One side has uppercase letters, the other side lowercase.
Add a bit more pizzazz by punching a cut out or gluing a school photo to the bottom.

Do you need a quick and easy ABC recording sheet when you do assessments? Are you looking for an upper and lowercase alphabet certificate of praise to pass out to your students?
I designed both!

Feel free to PIN away to help pass on anything you think is helpful to others.
I hope you can buzz on over tomorrow for more end-of-the-year fun!

I so enjoy hearing from people who visit. Thanks in advance for taking the time to do that and thanks too, for stopping by our site and reading the blog.
I think students find it more fun to review report card standards if you give them a new twist by adding them to a theme day.
Slap on a bit of Cat in the Hat clip art and you have a new Memory Match game that will have your little ones wanting to review upper and lowercase letters one more time.
Print them off on two different colors so the game is easier to play. I’ve also made cards for skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 5’s, and 10’s and counting by 1’s for little ones.
Click on the link to view/download the Dr. Seuss number and letter cards. Play the Cat in the Hat spinner game and continue to review skip counting.
Decide which group of numbers you want students to work on. Run off the Cat in the Hat sheets and pass out some red markers. Students play in groups of 2 to 4, taking turns spinning the paperclip.
Whatever number they land on they trace and then write the number on their hat. They do not have to do it in any particular order.
If they spin a number they’ve already traced, they lose their turn. The person who fills in their entire hat, or the one with the most stripes colored in by the time the timer rings, is the winner.
Seuss Time is played the same way, only with digital time to the hour. I have also included digital time cards so students can make Itty Bitty time booklets as well.
