Matching letters is a great way to help children recognize letters in the alphabet. This is a very simple game that you can do with your preschooler!
I used a pre-made alphabet that I bought for my classroom several years ago for this game. You can do the same thing by making your own!
Here’s what you’ll need: An alphabet train (pre-made or homemade), index cards.
1. Write each letter of the alphabet on an index card. I wrote the capital letters on one side and the lower-case letters on the other.
2. Have your child mix up the letter cards and the “race” to put the alphabet index card on the correct “car” of the train.

This activity was above Big Brother’s head. The phone rang after he matched about 8 letters (with lots of guidance) and when I turned around, this is what I saw…
Oh well! We’ll try it again in 6 months…
