ABC Kick Box
Children stand and make fists with their hands. Explain that you will punch across with your right hand and say a letter. Then punch across with their left hand and make the sound.
A – Punch with right hand /a/
B - Punch with left hand /b/
C…through Z
Children stand and put their hands in the air as they say a letter. They put their hands on their shoulders and make the letter sound. As they touch their toes they say a word that starts with that sound.
A (Hands up in the air and say “A.”)
/a/ (Hands on shoulders and make the short /a/ sound.)
(Say a word that starts with “A” as you touch your toes.)
*Have older children say words that are nouns, verbs, or other parts of speech as you touch your toes.

Go Letters!
Children stand and roll arms around in between making the manual signs for each letter.
Cheering Letters
Children put their hands in the air for tall letters, hands in front from middle letters, and touch the ground for letters with a tail.
