In this lesson, students engage in a fun and interactive way to learn the alphabet by using their bodies to act out words associated with each letter. They mimic various movements and sounds, such as pretending to be an alligator for “A” or marching like a soldier for “M,” which encourages physical activity and creativity. The lesson concludes with a celebration of their efforts, reinforcing the idea that learning can be enjoyable and dynamic.
  1. What letter did you like acting out the most?
  2. Can you show me how to move like an alligator?
  3. What silly sound did you make while learning the alphabet?

Let’s Move and Learn the Alphabet!

Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun? Let’s move our bodies and learn the alphabet together. We’ll pretend to be different things and make silly sounds. Are you excited? Let’s go!

Move Like a Monster!

First, let’s move our bodies like a monster. Can you chomp your arms like a big, hungry shark? Now, pump up your muscles like a strong bodybuilder. And finally, take a bow like you’re a shining star on stage. Great job!

Act Out the Alphabet!

Now, let’s pretend to be different things for each letter of the alphabet. Are you ready? Here we go!

A to H

A is for alligator. Snap your arms like an alligator’s mouth!
B is for bounce. Jump up and down like a bouncing ball!
C is for cold. Shiver like you’re in the snow!
D is for dive. Pretend to dive into a pool!
E is for exercise. Stretch your arms and legs!
F is for fishing. Cast your fishing line into the water!
G is for gooey. Wiggle your fingers like they’re sticky!
H is for hula. Sway your hips like you’re doing the hula dance!

I to P

I is for insect. Crawl around like a little bug!
J is for jiggle. Shake your body like jelly!

Y is for yawn. Stretch your arms and yawn like you’re sleepy!
Z is for zig-zag. Move in a zig-zag pattern like a lightning bolt!

Great Job!

Wow, you did an amazing job acting out the alphabet! You moved, you laughed, and you learned. Keep practicing and have fun with the alphabet every day!

  • What was your favorite letter to act out, and why did you like pretending to be that thing?
  • Can you think of other fun movements or actions for some of the letters we didn’t talk about? Share your ideas!
  • Have you ever seen or done any of these actions in real life, like surfing or marching? What was it like?
  1. Alphabet Adventure Walk: Take a walk around your home or school and look for objects that start with each letter of the alphabet. Can you find an apple for A or a book for B? As you find each object, act out the corresponding movement from the lesson. For example, when you find an apple, snap your arms like an alligator’s mouth!

  2. Create Your Own Alphabet Movements: Think of new actions for each letter of the alphabet. For example, for the letter A, you could pretend to be an astronaut floating in space. Share your new movements with a friend or family member and teach them your alphabet dance!

  3. Alphabet Story Time: Choose a letter and create a short story using words that start with that letter. For example, for the letter B, you might say, “A big bear bounced a blue ball.” Act out the story using the movements from the lesson. Can you make a story for each letter?
