Alphabet Matching Game

Print these gorgeous Alphabet Matching Game cards and use them in many ways in classroom or home - as a file folder game, memory game or as ABC flashcards.

Alphabet Matching Game

Ideas for using the alphabet matching game cards:

* As mini alphabet flashcards
* As a file folder game. Cut out and glue one set of cards randomly on the inside spread of a file folder. Cut the other cards out, and store each set separately. Can your child match up the cards?
* As a memory game. Shuffle two sets together (or a matching selection from two sets). Place them all face down on the table and take turns turning two cards over. If they match, remove them from the display. If they don't, try to memorise where they are and turn them back over again. Turning another two cards over.

Finger Tracing Alphabet To Print

This Finger Tracing Alphabet is and a good way to start your child learning the ABCs, upper and lower case. Trace over the letters as if you were writing with a pencil, making sure that your child starts and stop in the right places. If you are printing them for the classroom or expect a lot of use, you might want to laminate first. You could also make them into a ring bound flip book. And of course, because they are outline letters, you could ask your child to color them in, too!

Another idea is to use the pdf file of the complete set on your computer (full screen) or white board in the classroom.
