Since beginning schooling Cohen at home, I have been searching for all sorts of fun, unique and educational ways to help reinforce the letters and their sounds that we are learning..
Educational Insights in an amazing online store for parents and teachers alike, perfect for anyone that has a passion for teaching children of all ages! One of their newest games, Grandma’s Trunk Alphabet Game, teaches reading skills in a fun and exciting game for young kids to play with their peers or parents!
Tons of fun is packed into this suitcase classic! With 5 ways to play, kids will practice letter names and sounds, build memory skills, create stories, and even play fun riddle games! Includes adorable cardboard trunk (which doubles as package), 26 alphabet picture cards, 26 alphabet riddle cards, and guide. Grades K+
5 Ways to Play include:
1. What Comes Next? Take turns placing the letter cards in the trunk in alphabetical order.
2. Memory Time Take turns repeating the sequence of cards already in the trunk, then adding one of your own and challenging other players to remember them all, in order.
3. Grandma’s Riddles Deal the cards, then read a riddle and race to see who has the letter card that answers it!
4. Letter Sequence Memory Deal the cards and take turns putting them in the trunk in alphabetical order, repeating the items already in the trunk and challenging other players to remember them all, in alphabetical order.
5. Grandma’s Adventures Place the letter cards in the trunk and take turns pulling them out to create a cooperative story: “Once upon a time there was a grandma. She saw an iguana.”
The cards are nice and thick cardboard, so they are not easily bent or squished by little preschooler hands.. And I just love that there are 5 different ways to play! This is great because it makes sure the game will last a long time and still be exciting for kids of different ages!
