Play 4 Different Games With These Alphablocks Cards
With these Alphablocks cards, you can play four fun learning games:
- Pick a letter sound and think of as many words as you can that start with it.
- Pick an Alphablock and describe it. Can your friend guess which one it is?
- Say the sound each picture starts with to guess who's on the other side!
- Think of a describing word to go with each picture. Wobbly jelly! Stripy sock! Your turn...
Alphablocks is an educational magazine in which kids play alphabet games, join letters to make words, and create stories using the 26 Alphablocks characters. Learn more about subscriptions here.

Make these words with your Alphablocks: pen, pet, hen, bat, bug, cat, dog, dig, pop, sub, pig, peg, pen, pin, pan, pal, cot, pot, pup, can, cup, man, hat, cab, bag, lots, band. Use the extra S to make plurals.

Put this poster up in your classroom to teach correct letter formation with your favorite Alphablocks! Here are some fun teaching ideas:
- Have students stand up and trace each letter in the air with their pointer finger while looking at the poster.
- Pick one letter each day. Examine how it’s formed on the poster (where to start, which direction to move). Have students trace it on a whiteboard or in a sand tray.
- Laminate a smaller version of the poster or display it on a table. Encourage students to trace letters with their fingers while saying the letter name and sound aloud.
U thinks everything is unfair! Write the letters, then shrug your shoulders and say his sound! Cheer up U! Color in some gifts for him. Check the words with the u sound in the middle. Pretend to give U a big hug, then color him in to make him happy!
