I was on pintrest the other day pinning a bunch of recipes I want to keep. While I was there, I saw a pin about putting the alphabet on the floor. Since we've been working pretty hard on lower case letters (Amita only knows upper case) I decided to do it. What I couldn't imagine is how much the kids love it. Mommy for the win!
I used painters tape so it comes off easily. Also, let me tell you, I've never had greater appreciation for letters like X, T, and Z. Those round letters can be difficult and I hope they don't come off if the kids step on them. Also, if I had thought of it, I might have somehow pre-spaced my letters. I went from thinking I had too much space to having too little. I am not going to redo it, though, I had just enough tape so I'll have to take it as it is.
Possible games/activities I've thought of using the circle:

Possible games/activities I've thought of using the circle:
- Assigning each kid a letter - when I read books they have to sit on that letter while I read (also keeps them from crowding me and pulling each other's hair as I read - definitely a great idea!).
- Musical Letters - dancing/marching around the circle when music is on, turning it off, and having them run to a letter.
- Having them trace the letters with their fingers.
- Placing corresponding objects on the letters - plastic eggs on the letter E, a bear on the letter B, etc.
Can you think of any games? If so, please comment and I'll add them to the list!
