Games to practise

the alphabet

Make the word

● Lay out two sets of alphabet cards. Show the class a

picture, for example, a car.

● Ask a learner to pick up the letters to make the word for

the picture.

Which letter is missing?

● Lay out one set of alphabet cards so that everyone in a

group can see them.

● All the learners in the group close their eyes except for

one learner who removes one letter and hides it.

● The learners open their eyes again and put up their hand

to say which letter is missing

● Each learner removes one letter and hides it.

● The learners open their eyes again and put up their hand

to say which letter is missing.

● Variation: Learners say which letter is missing and a word

that starts with that letter.

What’s the word?

● Print two copies of the alphabet sheet. above. Cut them

up and make lashcards. Spread the cards out on a table,

face up.

● Tell a learner to take a letter.

For example: Pierre, Q.

Pierre picks up the card with Q . (See below for

suggestions for spelling other words.)

● Continue like this, with learners picking up the letters q-o-

r-t-s-y-l-o-z-m-a-y-i-u-a-b-t-u-q-b-m-n-r-z-e until they all

have a card with a letter.

Smaller classes: learners can take two or more different

letters. Bigger classes: two learners can share a letter.

● Call out the letters, one by one.

Learners who have the letter put up their hands.

● If two learners (or pairs of learners in bigger groups)

have the same letter, they sit down.

● Only the ive learners (or pairs of learners) whose letters

are not repeated remain standing.

● Learners make a word from the ive letters.

Suggestions for making other words

with the cards:

1 Learners pick up: k-r-c-g-u-p-f-d-h-i-j-k-j-f-s-g-e-h-u-c

(makes spider )

2 m-u-t-a-k-l-r-e-l-d-a-i-r-e-m-c-t-i (makes duck ).

3 w-e-n-z-r-x-s-o-y-n-v-a-e-s-v-z-d-x-y-a (makes word ).

4 h-v-l-u-m-t-r-t-h-p-u-w-f-l-p-m-o-w-g-v

Before and after

● Show learners a letter.

● Ask them to put up their hands and say which letter

comes before and which letter comes after this letter in

the alphabet.

(makes frog )

Listen and spell!

● You need a set of alphabet cards for each learner.

● Say the letters to spell a word, one letter at a time.

● Ask learners to pick up these letters and to spell the word.

● Variation: Say the letters to make a word, but not in the

correct order to spell that word.

● Learners pick up the letters and then put them in the

correct order to spell the word.

Say a word with this letter

● Use one set of alphabet cards with each group of four

learners.

● Each group puts their letters in a line (they don’t need to

be in alphabetical order, but the irst time you play this

game, it would be a good idea to ask them to put them in

that order).

● Each learner has a counter and each group has a dice

● One learner in each group throws the dice and moves

their counter the same number of spaces as the number

on the dice.

● When they land on a letter, they have to say a word

which begins or ends with that letter, or move back.

● The winner is the irst learner to reach the end of the

alphabet.

When the music stops

● Take a set of alphabet cards.

● Learners sit in a circle.

● Give a card with a letter to one learner in the circle.

● Play some music.

● While learners listen to the music, they pass the letter

round the circle.

● Stop the music.

● The learner who has the letter has to say it (or say a

word starting or ending with this letter.)

● If they are right, they get a point. If they are wrong, the

same letter is passed round again. The winner is the

learner with the most points.
