Adventure Idea: Letter Hunt

Discover letters all around you as you set your own letter hunt with your child in the car, in the supermarket, at the park . . .

On an A4 piece of paper, draw up a 4×4 table. In each box write a different letter of the alphabet in lower case. Take this board with you when you go for a walk, to the supermarket, in the car and explain to your child that they are going on a “Letter Hunt”. Every time they spot one of the letters on their board they can either cross it off, or draw the letter again next to it so they can practice their writing.

You can change the game each time you go out by changing the focus of the “Hunt”. You may choose to do upper case letters one day, animals, numbers, or shapes. Ask your child what they would like to hunt for. The possibilities are endless!!!
