🌟Popsicle Stick ABCS 🌟⠀
⠀
My kids really like activities where they have to search for things. It’s an automatic way to get them to LOVE an activity😉.⠀
⠀
This popsicle stick ABC hunt is really simple and a fun way to practice matching lowercase to uppercase letters. ⠀
⠀
You need 27 popsicle sticks and a sharpie. ⠀
⠀
🌟The set up🌟⠀
⠀
▪️Lay a popsicle stick horizontally flat on a surface. On the left side write “start” and on the right side write a capital A. ⠀
▪️On the second popsicle stick write a lowercase a on the left, and a capital B on the right. ⠀
▪️On the third one write a lowercase b on the left, and a capital C on the right. ⠀
▪️Continue until you get to lowercase z and write “finish” on that stick. ⠀
⠀
🌟To Play🌟⠀
⠀
Leave out the first popsicle stick and hide the rest around the room. Give your child the first one (the one that says “start” and has a capital A) and tell them they have to go find the stick with the lowercase a. When they find it, they can line it up like the picture above so the capital and lowercase A’s are touching right next to each other. On that stick will be a capital B, and then they will need to find the one with the lowercase b, line it up, etc. until they get to the lowercase z! ⠀
⠀
💜If your child doesn’t enjoy the running and searching as much as mine do 🤣, a simpler way to play this is to just hand all the sticks to your child and let them sort through them while sitting down and lining them up the same way. ⠀
⠀
🖤This activity helps children with uppercase and lowercase letter recognition, while also getting them moving and playing a “game” while doing so. It’s super simple and effective, and can be stored afterwards for another time!
