Identical Letter Towers

5 min1 participant

Recognize, name and track letters in a row. Plan appropriate actions to complete directions and build letter towers.

Let's play!

  1. Choose a brick.

  2. Read the letter.

  3. Find the other 2 bricks with the same letter and build a tower.

  4. Make 2 more towers the same way.

How to prepare

  • 1 base plate

  • 9 bricks (3 groups of 3 identical letters)

9 bricks randomly aligned, horizontally, in correct reading position, on the base plate.

Facilitation tips

  • Ask “How do you know you have built each tower correctly?”.

Possible variations

  • Choose letters tactually different for easier activity and tactually closer for more difficult activity.

  • Increase the number of letters.

  • Build the towers with friends.

  • Build the highest tower possible using only vowels or letters in the child's name.

2 children collaborate: one, building tower B, the other, tower C.

Try same activity but with a different number of identical letters (4 “A”, 5 “B” and 3 “C”) to work on concepts such as taller, longer, smaller, shorter

Did you know?

  • This can be a collaborative game: social interaction is a powerful tool for both learning and play.
