Alphabet - Letter Run
There were letters at the other side of the room.  Then a bag of letters.  They picked a letter out practiced the sound it made.  Then when we said go they would run to match the letter to a letter at the other side of the room.  They loved this game and love running.  It was a big hit and they did not want to stop!

Alphabet - Buried Treasure
I brought some sand in and put it in a big storage container.  I hid coins (pennies, nickels and a few quarters), and letter.  They had to dig to find all the letters.  Once they found a letter they had to match it to a metal pan that had letters on it.  They really enjoyed this.  The loved the coins and thought it was so cool.  They tried to find all the coins first before finding letters:)
