Spin and Cover Letters
Letter recognition is a skill we work on all year long in Pre-K and Kindergarten. So I get excited when I find a new, interactive way to work on letters like this Spin and Cover Letters activity!
This pack includes 6 letter mats to choose from. Pick your mat and have students use a pencil and paperclip to spin a lowercase letter. Then they use a cube to cover the matching uppercase letter.
Number Building Cards
Number recognition is another skill that is super important in early childhood classrooms. These Number Building Cards work on both recognizing numbers AND number writing skills. Win-Win!
To play, kids start by building the numbers using cubes. Then they trace the numbers on the bottom of the card. Cards for numbers 0-20 included!
Word Family Towers
Building cube towers is a fan favorite with students so this Word Family Towers activity is sure to be a hit in your literacy centers! Choose from 3 word family mats. (-at, -ot, -et, -an, -in, -un, -ap, -up, -up)
When it’s time to play, kids pick a word card and cover the matching picture to build the word family towers. So simple and fun!
Shape Building Cards
These Shape Building Cards provide tons of shape recognition learning fun and fine motor skills practice in one easy-prep activity!
Kids will choose a card and build the shape using cubes. When they are done, they count the number of cubes used and write the answer on the printable recording sheet.

This Cube Cover Up activity is a fun and engaging way to practice letter recognition and beginning sounds! Choose from 5 different printable mats.
Students use the cube color code to cover each picture according to their beginning sounds. Such an easy and effective way to work on letter sounds!
