Name Hunt Write the letters of each child's name on individual large recipe cards. Hide the letters around the room and have the children hunt for their letters. You may want to make each child's name a different color. Spelling Bags Place hair gel with alphabet beads in a ziplock bag. Squeeze the air out and tape the bag shut.
Children can then manipulate the beads to spell words - real or inventive.
Give each child a piece of paper with all the alphabet letters on it. Have them search around for one item for each letter. When they find one, they write it down after that letter. Older children can pair off with younger children.
