I’m always surprised at the number of people who didn’t play the Alphabet game as children. We always started at least one round while on long trips in the car.
Alphabet Car Game
Tell the kids to watch out for billboards, signs, anything with letters on it – if it has letters, it’s fair game. Then the whole family watches out for the letters of the alphabet, one after another. No two letters from the same sign, and it doesn’t count if you find a letter out of order! So if that Q came while you were looking for C, you’re just out of luck. 😛
Great game that teaches kids the alphabet in order, helps them practice their letters, and brings awareness to beginning readers of the importance that letters and words play in our lives. Doesn’t hurt that it occupies their time and results in fewer “Are we there yets” too. 🙂
