Directions
Cut out letters from construction paper. If you have access to a die-cut machine, you can cut out letters and animal shapes. You can also purchase letters already cut out and you can buy stickers. Each child will glue one or more letters on a sheet of construction paper. Next to the letters, each child will glue pictures of objects that start with the letter.
Game
Viaje alfabético / Alphabet Trip
Take your storytime group outside. Make sure you have plenty of supervision and that it is safe outdoors. If not, take them into the main area of the library. Select one child to call out, “What do you see that starts with the letter “a”? ¿Qué se ve que empiece con la letra “a”? The first person to respond becomes the next child to call out a letter of the alphabet. Continue until all kids have had a chance to call out a letter of the alphabet.
