Pick Me Up Tuesday

Snake and Sassy begins with S

When Learning Becomes Play

Ava has known her shapes and colors for a while so I decided it was time to work on the alphabet. She calls lowercase g and any case s a snake so that got me thinking. I busted out some sidewalk chalk and went to town drawing out an alphabet snake.  What started as a learning activity became the most fun we've had in a while.  


Ways to mix it up:
  • Have the child trace the letters
  • Draw upper and lowercase letters
  • Sound them out  
  • Throw a rock on a letter like Hopscotch then have them hop to the letter and  yell it out
  • Have the child come up with words that start with the cooresponding letter
  • Make it a shape or number day instead of alphabet 
We had so much fun!
