Literacy Activities

Alphabet Knowledge: As kids work on their puzzles you can ask them questions about the letters.

  • What letters do you see?
  • What do you notice about the shape of the letters?
  • Are there any duplicate letters?
  • What sounds do you hear when I say the name?

Letter Formation: They can practice letter formation by finger tracing each letter as they complete a puzzle.

Syllable Recognition:  You can work on syllables by asking them to clap their name.

Create Rhymes: Have fun with the name and create a silly rhyme by changing the first letter of the name (Example…. Deena rhymes with Leena and Alex rhymes with Balex)

Complete a Friend’s Puzzle: In addition to working on spelling their own names, kids will enjoy putting their friends’ puzzles together.  Does the friend have some of the same letters in his/her name as you have in yours?

Additional Ideas

The printable puzzles are fun to use for practicing names, but they can be used for additional activities too. Here are a few ideas:

  • Fine motor/scissor skills practice– Let kids cut out own puzzles.
  • Glue them down– Kids can glue their pieces onto long strips of paper or sentence strips.
  • Bulletin boards – Use these strips to create a name bulletin board.
  • Color puzzles – Instead of names print puzzles with the names of colors.
  • Word puzzles – Use the document to CVC word puzzles or sight word/hight interest word puzzles.
