Christmas in July {Day 7} AlphaHeroes! + Some Fun ABC Stuff

This set has EVERYTHING you need to start the year off with letters and sounds! Kids love super heroes, so they are CERTAIN to love these sweet little Alphaheroes!

Be sure to stop over at my Facebook for your fan freebie!

So, I while back I posted this picture on my Facebook page

I KNEW I could figure out something to make with both of these empty containers…..and I did! I will share with you the first game today!

Introducing The Magic Letter Can!

Now, we know that if we use the word “magic” with our Kindergarteners and have some glitter thrown in they are instantly intrigued!

I found the glitter paper and glittery stickers at Michaels, and it took me all of 10 minutes to put together this project.  I used some tape to tape the glitter paper to the can, and stuck the stickers on.  Easy peasy.

For the game pieces, I used my Silhouette to cut out some circles super quick, but you could also use a circle punch.  I used the remaining stickers on the letter “coins.”  Some have both uppercase and lowercase, some have only uppercase.  (I only wanted to buy one pack of stickers!)

This is a game that will help kids with letter/word association.  We will pull out one letter coin, and try to say as many words as we can that start with that letter.  If we get stumped, we’ll pull out another coin.  This is a great game to bring along with you if you have to wait in line for lunch, wait for specialists or waiting at assemblies!  The pringles can is a “snack size” so it easy to carry around!

I’m sure you can think of lots of other ways to use the Magic Letter Can!  Do you think this is something you could use in your classroom?

Oh, before I forget, I have a brand new center unit in my TpT store. I’m super excited about these activities, and I think it will make my beginning of the year centers so fun and EASY!  Take a peek if you’re interested!

I also finished this little ditty awhile ago, but forgot to upload it!
