Looking for an engaging and active way to reinforce phonics skills? This scavenger hunt combines movement and learning, making phonics practice fun for Kindergarten and early 1st-grade!

This phonics scavenger hunt is packed with everything you need to get your students practicing essential phonics skills in an exciting, hands-on way. With step-by-step teacher directions, a student-friendly recording sheet, and an answer key for easy assessment, this activity is ready to go! Your students will match Uppercase to Lowercase letters, build fine motor skills as they write lowercase letters, and enjoy the built-in movement. This is perfect for independent practice or centers, whether you're teaching in small groups or as a whole class. This is #2 in the Scavenger Hunt Series. It is perfect for kindergarten, first grade, or any student working on letter recognition. Start with whole-group instruction to guide your students through the process of identifying the picture, matching them to words, and writing their answers. Once they master the format, this scavenger hunt becomes an independent literacy station that can be used again and again with different content!

Common Core Alignment:

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.D: I can recognize and name all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet.

How it Works:

1. Students may start at ANY card with their pencil and paper on a clipboard. If this is too much to carry: Adjust the activity, by “hiding” the cards around the classroom writing surfaces such as tables and desks and have a pencil at each station.

2. Write the number of the starting card in the top left square.

3. Look at the Uppercase letter in the middle of the card. Think about what the lowercase letter match looks like.

4. Walk around the room searching for the lowercase match in the oval in the top right of another card that matches Uppercase letter.

5. When found, write the lowercase letter on the line in the first box.

6. Following the arrow on their paper to box 2, write the number of this card in the box on the top left.

7. Repeat until all boxes are full. Students should return to starting card when completed.
