Preschool Name Game
Low-prep preschool name game! This activity has a fun surprise to help children learn letter recognition in a fun, hands-on way.
Materials
- magneitc letters
- markers
- paper bag
- white paper roll
Instructions
- First, tape your white paper to the table.
- Next, gather a collection of letters to spell out your child’s name. Remember! You can also use small pieces of paper.
- Put the alphabet letters into the brown paper bag.
- Finally, grab a marker and write your child’s name. Ideally, you want to use an uppercase letter followed by a lowercase. Don’t overthink this! If you only have upper or all lowercase letters, begin with what you already own. You can always revisit this same play idea down the road.
- Invite your child to pick a letter from the bag and match it on the paper.
Notes
Teach your toddler the alphabet, starting with the letters in his name. Children take ownership of the letters of their names. They are proud to know that the letters they are learning belong to them.
