Hunt for a letter in the room Activity

About this idea

A letter of the week, and the whole room becomes the search. Find a T somewhere in the room: on a poster, on a wooden block, in a picture book title. Children move, touch it, and say it, which is three things at once that a worksheet is not. Then find it together in a word on the door, on a name card, on the snack list. The search ends with the letter in their hand and in their mouth, which is the state you want them in for reading.
