Kindergarten Activity No. 15 : The Alphabet Rainbow

An alphabet rainbow is used when teaching children the alphabet. It is a good visual aid, and helps children consolidate letter recognition and alphabet order.

Above is a picture of the alphabet rainbow we have in kindergarten classes. At school we say the letters of the alphabet every day.

Press on the link below and print the alphabet arc shown above.  Say the letter sounds while pointing to the letters. This will help reinforce letter recognition and alphabet sequence. Focus on vowels (the letters in red) and consonants (the letters in black).  Spend at least 10 min daily saying the alphabet.

Magazine Letter Hunt and Sort Activity

This letter hunt and sort activity is a perfect activity for your children since it helps them develop scissor skills while consolidating letter recognition.

Choose the letter you will be hunting for, e.g. g.  Encourage your child to find the letter g from old books and magazines. Cut these letters and paste them on a handout.  Sort the higher case letters from the lower case letters

Kindergarten Activity 14 : Practicing number recognition and formation

Fishing Game

Things you will need:

 

  • Number cards (you can cut them in the shape of a fish) with a paperclip attached to the
  • A fishing rod with a magnet attached to it.
  • Some water
  • A container
  • A paint brush

 

This activity should take place outdoors, either in the yard, in the terrace or on the roof.

Place the number cards in a container. Then ask the children to try to catch the cards using the rod. This helps to improve their eye-hand co-ordination. Once they catch the card, they have to say the number written on it.

Then, using the paint brush and water, encourage them to write the numbers on the floor or on the wall. By doing this, the children will enjoy practising pre-writing of numbers.

You can finish the activity by challenging your child and ask him/her why the numbers they have written are vanishing from the floor. Explain the concept of evaporation!

 

Variation:

To make this activity more challenging you can fill in the container with water. In this case the cards should be made of foam sheets or laminated paper.
