Picture Word Scramble

Choose a picture card that can also be spelled using the letter cards. Place the
picture card in one of the display pockets along with the letter cards that spell
the picture word. Scramble the letter cards and challenge students to rearrange
the letter cards in order to spell the picture card’s name correctly. Students can
use the back of the picture cards for assistance or to check their spelling. Your
Alphabet Center comes with one uppercase and one lowercase card for each
letter of the alphabet. You may want to use index cards to make more letter
cards so that students can spell picture words using more than one instance
of the same letter.

Picture Card Sentences

Place several picture cards in one of the extra storage pockets. Have students
draw a picture card at random from the pocket. Challenge students to use the
picture word in a sentence. Have students either place the picture card used
in a sentence in a display pocket or in the appropriate letter pocket. You may
want to use paper or a writing chart to help students record their sentences
and identify the picture words used in the sentences.

Silly Stories

Place several picture cards in the extra storage pocket. Have one student draw
a picture card. Have the student use that picture word in a sentence to start
a silly story. Have the student then place the card in one of the display pockets.
Next, have another student draw a picture card and continue the silly story by
using the new picture word in a sentence relating to the previous picture word
or words. Challenge students to keep their silly story going!
