This activity was inspired by jedybaldeo's Alphabet Pyramid. I just made it a Halloween theme.
Goal: To help students differentiate between some of the commonly confused letters in the Alphabet.
Materials: 1 Printout per student, eraser to mark the path (pencil is okay too)
Mechanics:
- Teacher will review the letters by pointing to each letter in the pyramid and pronouncing the letter name. Students to repeat the letter name.
(Alternatively, letter sound can also be used.)
- Teacher to teach/review the Halloween character names.
- Teacher to tell students to listen to the sequence of letters he will slowly call out, and they must follow the correct letter to reach the correct monster. (For each letter, say it 2-3x and emphasize your mouth shape, so students can differentiate. For example, for M vs. N, make sure you emphasize the closed lips for M, etc.)
- At the end of each round, check if students got the correct monster, and review the path.
Alternate mechanics: allow students to pick their favorite monster, and draw a path from the bottom, going up. Then the students take turns as the leader, calling out the letters to make their classmates guess their monster.
