Finding Out BCDTG - 1
“Children are our most valuable natural resource.”
1) 15-20 minutes
Start the class with a game. For young kids, Big Fish Games doesn't always do such a good job. Children don't mind repetition and in many cases, it can be very useful. So, if they aren't tired of the ABC song and running games, by all means, continue using them. However, if you need some alternative games here are some examples:
Round The Chairs TPR
Have the students bring out some chairs. There should be one chair less than the number of students. For example, if there are 4 students, there should only be 3 chairs. Set the chairs up in a circle with the seats facing out. Move around the circle by using different commands such as walk, run, jump, hop and so on. The teacher should do the commands so the students can understand what they are supposed to do. Then yell "sit". The last student left standing must go touch a letter that you command. Sometimes, one of the TPR commands can be touch B-book or T-tiger etc.
1-2 touch your shoe
Stand in a circle and chant this song and do the actions in brackets:
1, 2 touch your shoe (reach down and touch your shoes)
3. 4 sit one the floor (sit down on the floor)
5, 6 kicks, kicks, kicks (kick your feet in the air)
7, 8 it is late (stretch your arms and pretend to go to sleep)
9, 10 stand up again (stand up)
At this point, you can carry on from the previous game and give some TPR commands, have them sit in the chairs or run and touch the letter that you command. Repeat the process for as long as they are interested.
Computer games
The following links are examples of ABC games that can be played with the children:
2) 25-30 minutes
Use the Pelmanism Cards PDF activity with the Pelmanism Cards PPT. Have the children fold and paste the cards. Next, have them color the pictures (you probably won't get through all of them...it doesn't matter as this is an activity to work on color words). Finally, use the PPT to play a game using the Pelmanism cards. There are different ways to play the game, but it is best using the actual cards to model the game but it is up to the teacher whether to use just the PPT or a combination for the game.
Before the coloring activity, you might want to play some color songs to acquaint the students with color words:
3) 10-15 minutes
Use the BCDGT Cards to play some class and outside TPR games. There are some examples below.
Frist, you should establish a mime with each of the letters and objects. For example, to get them to remember b-book, have them pretend to read a book.
Phonic Gate Keeper
The students are in the classroom. Show them a card (c-cat), say c- cat or the phonic sound of c and say cat and make the mime movement already established. Next, have them all go touch the c-cat card outside. Now, before they can enter the classroom, you make each of them say c-cat and make the mime movement already established.
Zombie chase
Spread the cards outside the classroom in the big room. Next, play the 1,2 touch your shoe song, or the TPR commands game (students do run, jump, walk commands based on teacher's discretion). When the teacher shouts zombie, the teacher turns into a zombie monster. The students can save themselves by picking up the card and using that card's word say, for example, d-dog and doing the predetermined mime movement.
4) 20-25 minutes
They should be tired and ready for a sit-down session. Play some of the letter videos as seen below:
After watching some videos, you can do the Letters Cut PDF with the Letters Cut PPT. Have the students cut and paste the letters next to the right picture.
Now, you can watch some turn the card over videos and then play some PPT games that are similar in nature
5) 20-25 minutes
With the time remaining, you can play some more TPR games, return and finish coloring the Pelmanism cards, watch some more videos, play computer games or do the writing exercise in the folder.

Finding Out AEIOU - 2
“I didn’t learn the alphabet until I was 11.”
1) 10-15 minutes
Start the class with a game. For young kids, Big Fish Games doesn't always do such a good job. So, in order to help them with the alphabet, a game using the alphabet song and some TPR (Total Physical Response) is useful. For example, you could use: ABCD Watermelon
In the game, they play the alphabet song but there are mistakes. When the game comes to these mistakes, make the kids figure out what the alphabet is and have them run out and touch the letter on the ABC Wall Cards and say the letter. Then, before letting them back into the room make them say the name of the object that is related to the letter (for example, t - tiger).
You can also use a video. For example,
ABC's & Counting 1-20 | Learning Songs | GiggleBellies
Using the video allows for more freedom when choosing what letter you want them to go out and locate. Also, this video has numbers if you want to incorporate some number TPR as well.
2) 20-25 minutes
Do the Big Little Cut exercise and the Finding Out 1-1 page. Use the AEIOU practice ppt to aid in these exercises.
During and after the activity you can play some of the letter videos available in the folder on your computer. Here are some examples
3) 10-20 minutes
Use the AEIOU Cards to play some class and outside TPR games. There are various games that can be played and it is advisable to mix normal games with the TPR-related alphabet activities.
Frist, you should establish a mime with each of the letters and objects. For example, to get them to remember a-apple, have them pretend to eat an apple.
Next, play a game where you put a set of the AEIOU cards outside on the ground. The students are in the classroom and you can pick one of the students. Show them a card (e-elephant), say e- elephant or the phonic sound of e and elephant and have them run out and grab the card.
Another game is where you tell them to count to ten and then you go outside and hide the card somewhere and they must find it.
Now, you can play some classroom games. Show them the cards and turn them upside down. Now, make them guess where one of the cards are. Another game is to have the cards on the table and make them slap the card that you shout.
A mix of TPR and memory game can be utilized next. Have the students bring their chairs out to the outside. Put the chairs next to one wall opposite where the letters are. In this game, you can introduce different commands such as walk, sit, stand and run. The goal is to have them do the actions along with you as you command them. Every once in a while, should a letter and object (o-octopus) and they must run over and touch it.
These are just some examples. If you have other TPR games, feel free to use them throughout the course. Other games will be introduced in other lessons as well.
5) 10-15 minutes
They should be tired and ready for a sit-down session. Play some of the Turn Letter Games like the examples below. There are three objects for each letter and the target word isn't always in the video or, if it is, not the first one. So, best if you scroll through the video until you get to the one you want. However, it isn't horrible if you just watch the videos...it can entertain and teach at the same time.
Follow up the videos with some ppt games along a similar vein: UNO Card Hidden Game - Big Little Letter Phonic Hidden Game
5) 10-20 minutes
In this activity, you will be working on big and little letter writing TPR. Using the Finding Out-1-2 page and the Write Touch AEIOU ppt, have the kids touch letter that is associated in the ppt. This can get a bit repetitive, so you will need to add variations in the game to keep them focused.
