Alphabet Card Game
Target Students:
Young Learners
Target Students:
Elementary School
Duration:
5-15 Minutes
Number of Students:
Groups of 2-3
English Skills:
Alphabet
Objective:
Learn the alphabet by arranging alphabet cards in order - Prepare sets of small cards with one letter on each card
- Divide the class into groups of 2 or 3 (equal ability is desirable)
- Give each group 2 sets of cards (10 groups = 20 sets of cards)
- Have the groups scatter their cards face down on the floor or tables put together
- Students turn over one card at a time to find consecutive letters starting with 'A'
- Have them arrange the cards in any way they like, such as spirals or other patters
- If they turn over the wrong card they put it back face down and select another
- The first team to arrange all the letters first wins
- Use lower case and upper case card sets
- Give each team a stop watch to time themselves
- Instead of playing against other teams they can try and beat their own time
- Have them arrange the alphabet backwards
We have been using scratch paper cut into business card-sized pieces. After a hundred uses they are holding up fine.
A big thanks to Troy for this EFL/ESL game!
