Alpha Bird Alphabet Assessment Game Craftivity

All Freebies· PK-2

So that I could get a handle on where my new students were, I always liked to do some fun assessing of my first graders the first week of school.

With that in mind I designed Alpha Bird.  Students choose from a variety of colored pattern pieces and glue them to their paper plate bird body.

When everyone has completed “Alfie” play “I Spy” by calling out a letter.  Students find and trace both the upper and lowercase letter. 
When they  have done so, they raise their hand, so that you know
everyone is done.  With just a glance, you can see who is struggling. 
Call on a child to choose the next letter.  Play ’til all of the letters
have been traced.

Alfie offers a simple, quick and interesting way to whole group assess, while providing a nice review of upper and lowercase letters. 
The birds also make a stunning hallway wall border.  Simply tie a yarn
loop at the top and suspend from the ceiling.
                    Caption: “We know our letters and that’s something to TWEET about!”
