Let’s Play: Matching Uppercase Letters – Match letters with objects – Find objects that start with the same letter – Every letter has a match – B is for Ball, C is for Cat – Example: A is for Apple – Find your own matches – Think of objects at home or school | This slide introduces a matching game to help Pre-k students identify uppercase letters by associating them with objects that start with the same letter. The game is designed to be interactive and engaging, encouraging students to think of objects that correlate with each letter of the alphabet. For instance, ‘A is for Apple’ is a clear example to start with. Teachers should encourage students to come up with their own examples, which could be items from their surroundings, like ‘B is for Ball’ or ‘C is for Cat’. This activity helps in reinforcing letter recognition and phonetic sounds. During the next class, students can share their matches and discuss why they chose those particular objects, promoting class participation and language skills.

As they find objects, have them bring the items to a common area where you can discuss the letters together. This will not only help with letter recognition but also with phonemic awareness as they associate the letters with the sounds they make at the beginning of words.

Each student will present an object they have found that starts with a specific uppercase letter. Encourage them to articulate the letter and the sound it makes clearly. This activity will help students associate letters with objects and sounds, aiding in memory retention. Prepare a list of objects that start with different letters in case some students need examples or guidance. Ensure that every child gets a turn and that the class is attentive and respectful when each student shares their findings.
