Find the Hidden Preschool Letters- Rainforest Alphabet Game

Sharing is caring!

Learning to recognize the letters of the alphabet in any context can be a bit tricky for a preschooler- especially when they are written differently. C loves shouting out the letters he sees as well as adding the sounds. For example, he will say, “P-puh” for the letter P. I created these find the hidden preschool letters activity for our rainforest alphabet theme to help him. They are similar to the Pets Game: Find The Hidden Numbers that I did recently.

Helpful Tips For the Rainforest Find The Hidden Alphabet Letters Game

The second time C did this activity it was a bit different. I was trying to keep him distracted so finding the magnifying glass was not an option. Instead of the magnifying glass, I grabbed a set of dot markers and allowed him to dot the letters that he found. He still had to call out the letters that he found (as if I could stop him) before he dotted the preschool letters.
