Earth day will be here before you know it! Do you need ideas for teaching literacy skills with an Earth Day theme? Here are some of my favorite Earth Day literacy activities that are perfect for preschool and Pre-K.
Earth Day Literacy Activities
Alphabet Game
This activity includes both upper and lower case versions in black and white or color. Students will take turns drawing a card, identifying the letter, and marking it on their recording sheet. This activity also includes two recording sheets, one for uppercase letters and one for lowercase letters and is available in the Earth Day bundle.
Beginning Sound Activity
Students will identify the beginning sound of each picture and attach a clothespin with the correct letter to the corresponding picture. There is also a black and white recording sheet included with this activity. The beginning sounds activity is available in the Earth Day bundle.
Rhyming Activity
This super fun rhyming game can be played in a large group and is available in both black and white and color. Students take turns “reading” their cards and finding their rhyming partner. This activity is available in the Earth Day bundle.
