For a few dollarsand a few minutes you can create some great LETTER POPS for yourclassroom. You will need a set ofmagnetic letters and jumbo craft sticks. Glue a magnetic letter to each craft stick. (I LOVE E6000 glue that you can get at Walmart or hobby stores.) Pass these out to thechildren to hold up as you sing alphabet songs, such as “Alphardy,” “Who Letthe Letters Out?” “Letter Pops”, etc.
*Have childrenmatch letter pops to classroom print and letters in alphabet books.
*Call outsounds. Children come to the frontof the room when they hear their letter sound. Blend the letters together to make words.
*Play “LetterPokey” which is similar to the “Hokey Pokey.” For example:
“You put your H in. You take your H out…”
