Learning Outcomes: Print and Alphabet Knowledge, Gross Motor, Perception
Think of some letters that are already familiar to your child. Use chalk to write those letters in big handwriting on the sidewalk. Add in a few letters that your child is beginning to learn. Invite your child to identify the letters of the alphabet by stomping on the letter that you call out. Start with identifying the familiar ones and then introduce the new letters!
Why It's Important
Your child is learning to recognize the letters of the alphabet. Making personal connections to letters (e.g., D is for Daddy, M is for Mommy, etc.) makes the letters more meaningful and easier to remember.
Not Ready Yet
Make the letters big enough where you can stomp on the letters together. You can also try writing all of the alphabet on the ground and stomping on the letters as you sing the ABC song.
Need a Challenge
Stomp on a word instead of a letter. You can write words that are in categories like 'names of friends,' 'animals,' etc.
