How to Get Kids Excited about Learning Letters with a Free Owl Activity
Kids will have fun learning letters in a playful way with this cute owl alphabet matching activity. There are many ways to use the free set to build early literacy skills.
I just realized that I haven’t featured my Owl Alphabet Matching Activity on this website and I can’t believe it. When I started learning to design educational activities several years ago, my owl activities were one of my first designs. They are perfect for fall or any time of the year.
I have memories of working at the kitchen table on the computer during the summer and getting feedback from my little boy as I created. That little boy is now almost as big as me, and I now have this website where I share my activities with people all over the world.
Because the owls were kind of the start of it all, the owl image has a special place in my heart. I wear an owl charm on my necklace, I have some owl artwork hanging in my office, and I have even used an owl image as the logo for my website and store.
Today I want to share my owl letter match with you. It has been updated several times over the years, but it is still a sweet activity that your little ones will enjoy.
What is Included?
The printable includes 4 full-page game boards and a set of uppercase and lowercase letters.
Letter Recognition
Use the owl letter activity to help kids begin to recognize the unique shape of each letter. They can match uppercase to uppercase letters.
Matching Lowercase to Uppercase
Kids can also match lowercase letters to uppercase letters. They will enjoy flying the baby owl and sitting it beside the Mommy owl.
Alphabet Game
Because there are 4 unique game boards, you can play a matching game with 2-4 players. Spread a set of babies face down in the middle of the table. Kids can take turns selecting a card, naming the letter on the card, and finding the matching Mommy owl.
A Playful Way to Practice Letter Sounds
As kids “fly” their baby owls to their mother, they can also pretend that the baby owls are crying. Each little owl’s cry is the same sound as the letter on its chest.
