Alphabet Play - Let's Start with the Letter "A"

We had a blast at our first Toronto Alphabet Play today!

Lots of words start with "A" - like apple, animals, airplane, so it was a fun place to start.  Join us each month as we work through letters of the alphabet.

 Here's how you can have some Alphabet Play fun with the letter "A":

Any great Alphabet Play session starts with the ABC song, of course..

Show the letter "A", see if kids can identify it

Identify any kids who's names start with "A"

Talk about words that start with "A"

Start drawing some pictures based on those words and see if you can turn them into stories.

Name characters in the pictures/stories with "A" names

In normal conversation, stop to point out words you've said that
start with "A" - again, and, also, age, adult

"A" Words for Pre-schoolers
  • apple
  • ants
  • airplane
  • art
  • animals
  • arm
  • ankle
  • ambulance
  • astronaut
  • alligator
  • arrow
  • apron
 Awesome...that's an "a" word too!
 Have Fun!

Alphabet Programs in Toronto

momstown is very pro early literacy and we LOVE our Alphabet Play program! In the East end we hold this program at Lil Bean n Green and in the West end at Chapters at Runnymede/Bloor.

The objective is to learn our letters together and transform them from 'just' the letter into something more memorable. Introducing our e is for Earth and F is for Feathers!
