Letter Memory

Do you know your alphabet? Do you have a good memory?

Four letters have been lost.
It’s up to you to put them back in the right place in the alphabet!

Goals

To read, memorise and locate letters on an alphabet baseplate.
To understand the spatial organisation of a page.

The adult prepares

1 alphabet baseplate
a set of letter bricks, from A to Z in a bowl

The children play

Player 1 takes four letters from the bowl, and gives them to player 2 for one minute.

Player 2 takes the four letters, remembers as many as possible and return the bricks to player 1.

Player 2 takes the remembered letters from the alphabet baseplate and moves them to the bottom.

Both players compare and discuss the letters to see how many were correctly remembered.

I have prepared,
you can touch it, on the base plate, all the letters.
And I would like you just to pick one brick
that is the first letter of your name.
And take it.
Great.
So what letter is it? -’A’.
Yeah.
And what is your name? -Aurora.
Great.
And can you do it now with my name? -Yeah.
So remember, my name is Marc.
Okay, I’m just placing it here.
Can you read it to check if it’s the right one?
What letter is it? -‘Mmm.’
‘Mmm’. Mark.
And for you, you said this one. -’A’.
So is it ‘A’ for Aurora and ‘M’ for?
Marc. -Marc. Great!
