Musical letters
Ever since we tried playing musical letters several months back, my children have been asking to play it again, but I kept forgetting to make the letters up for them, until now, so here is our fun afternoon of dancing, music and learning.
Musical letters is such a fantastic game. It provides exercise, dance, music, fun and learning all in one!
It is basically musical islands or musical bumps, only with letters.
First you need to write out letters on pieces of paper or card.
Place the letters around the floor for the children to dance around.
The music plays. When the music stops, shout out a letter and the children have to find and sit on that letter. What better way could there be to learn letters?
It is best to use easy letters first, then as the children learn, you can introduce more difficult letters like b and d.
You could also use this game for numbers instead of letters, or maybe sight words once they’ve got their letters sussed.
I highly recommend this game, my girls love playing it and are really starting to remember their letters now.
Thats a great idea, I will give it a go, my eldest starts school in sept and can already recognise many letters (and a few words) so this will be fun learning for her without trying.
My children absolutely love the game, they don’t even realise they are learning
This is a brill idea, consider it stolen!
Please do….it is so much fun and learning and exercise all at the same time…kids love it!
