Alphabet Chart Printable

Let’s get started! First, you will need to print this alphabet chart! If you are using this with your students, each student will need their own chart. I recommend saving this chart to your computer for easy access. I also recommend printing this chart on heavier paper and you can even laminate it so it holds up for longer.

Alphabet Chart Games and Activities

After printing the printable alphabet chart, you are ready to start learning! Here are five easy alphabet chart activities that your little ones will enjoy!

Find the Letter

This is the easiest alphabet chart activity because it requires only the chart! Just say the name of a letter or the sound a letter makes and have your child point to it on their chart. This is a great game for the car or waiting for a meal. You can also make it into a BINGO game and have your child cover each letter with an eraser or pom pom, etc. You can also make it more challenging with these prompts for older children:

• “Can you find the letter that purse starts with?”
• “Point the to the letter that cat ends with?”

Magnetic Match Up

If you don’t already have a set of magnetic letters, I highly recommend investing in some. This set of magnetic letters is really great because it has uppercase and lowercase letters AND it comes with an organizing case! Just having your child sort the letters is an awesome alphabet activity! I also like that the vowels and consonants are color-coded.

For this activity, give your child some magnetic letters to match up with the letters on the chart! Start with the letters in their name and work up to the entire alphabet! We want little ones to feel successful with any alphabet chart activity and build their confidence as a reader. So start small and work up!

Missing Letters

Use this size post-it note to cover up letters on the chart. Your child can tell you what letter is missing or practice writing that letter on the post-it note!

Dice Roll

This alphabet chart activity is great because it also incorporates counting too! Find a small toy, eraser, pom poms or use a game piece and place it on the letter A. Roll a dice, move that many spaces and have your child say the letter and letter sound that they land on. You can add some variety to this game by starting on a different letter (like Z!) or using a different type of dice like this super fun one or these. You could also use a doubles dice and have them move the sum or difference of the two numbers for additional math practice!

Alphabet Chart Puzzle

Our last alphabet chart activity just requires a little cutting! Print an extra copy of the chart and cut it apart. I recommend cutting it into bigger pieces and then cutting it smaller as your child gets better and putting the letter puzzle together. Again, laminating the chart will help it last longer and create a real puzzle!
