The Great Big Letter Hunt

Okay, it’s not so big, but I feel like little kids thrive on the hype. This game is quick and easy to set up and keeps the kids searching for ages.

What you’ll need:
  • Post-it Notes
  • Markers
  • White paper

Write all of the ABCs (or alef-beis) across as many sheets of white paper as you need, and hang them on the wall. Then, write corresponding letters on Post-it Notes (one note per letter), or make a picture that starts with each letter. Hide all the Post-its around the house. As the kids find the Post-its, they stick them on the matching letter hanging on the wall. Everyone wins when they’ve found all the letters!

  • Paint (I used watercolors)
  • Paintbrushes

Freeze water in a plate or bowl 12 hours before you plan to do the activity.
