Alphabet matching game
If your student is a fan of the carnivorous animal the lion, the Disney movie The Lion King, or the Disney Junior show The Lion Guard, they will enjoy this themed activity for practicing tracing letters and working letter discrimination at the same time.
If you just can’t wait to be king…. you will start by stacking Simba’s Paw Alphabet Cards in the middle of the table. Now hand out a recording sheet to each student in the group. Explain that they are to choose one card at a time. They say the letter on the card (there are letters from A to Z) and then find it on their ABC Printable recording sheet.
Next up they will trace their abcs – we like to use a rainbow trace (or use markers, scented markers, colored pencils, highlighters and more) the letters on their recording sheet. They repeat this process until they’ve colored or traced all the letters on their sheet!
