File Folder Uppercase & lowercase Letter Match:

This is a great file folder game for your students. It’s a fun way for your students to practice matching the correct Uppercase and lowercase letters together. There is #2 pages of Uppercase letters as well as #1 page of lowercase letters.

Print, laminate and attach the #2 pages of the Uppercase Letters (pumpkins) to a file folder. Then cut out and laminate the pumpkin seeds with the lowercase letters on them.

I would recommend getting small velcro dots and attaching them to the front top of the pumpkins as well as the back of the pieces of the pumpkin seeds to make the matching process easier.
