Today was rainy until late afternoon, and we were all going a little stir crazy, so I put together an Alphabet Scavenger Hunt for the boys. I wrote each letter on a sheet of paper and then taped it to an object starting with that letter, writing the word underneath. The idea was to familiarize the boys with individual letters, and to get them to start thinking about the sounds each letter makes. Some of the letters are easier to remember than others.
It's harder than you think to come up with a physical object you own for each letter. I had trouble with a couple of them, so come of my choices were... original.
When it came to the letter "I" Nick found the letter on the freezer. "Great!" we said. "Now what is it that starts with 'I?'"
"Freezer!" Nick said confidently.
"Um... no, try again," we said, and I pointed to the ice dispenser, which is on the freezer. "What does that make?"
Nick raised him eyebrows. "Um, Pizza?"
The funny thing is, we were drawn to this particular model of fridge because of the huge sign saying it could fit EIGHT FROZEN PIZZAS inside!
