Alphabet

Copyright 2010. Family Theme Days. All rights reserved.

The most obvious choice for an alphabet theme day is the “ABCDEFG...” alphabet song that most of us learned in school- http://www.kididdles.com/lyrics/a004.html

Many different Children’s Music Recordings have other alphabet songs (like Sharon, Lois and Bram’s “Alphabet Medley” from their Travellin’ Tunes album), check your children’s collections to see what you have on hand.

For something completely different find on your favourite music provider “Crazy ABC’s” by the Barenaked Ladies.

Once your child is aware of all the letters of the alphabet having a general alphabet day is a fun way to review.   If your child knows the capital letters well use this day as an opportunity to highlight the lower case letters.  I’ve listed a lot of different activities so it might be better to spread them out over a number of different days – have an alphabet week instead!  Once you are finished this theme day, keep reviewing the letters until they are in school by repeating various activities at any time.

Print out the
Family Theme Day Planner and decide which activities you’d like to do and in what order.
