Teach students how to write and identify the letter L through various activities, crafts and snacks. When teaching students about the letter L, you can have them sing favorite songs by replacing the words with the sound “La” to reinforce what sound the letter L makes.
Alphabet Book Page for the Letter L
It is very easy for students to draw the letter L. The lower case letter L is a simple line. The upper case letter l is two lines together. Be sure to have students write the letter to touch the line if you are having them write on lined paper. Have students write their own letter L for the alphabet page. Students can also add drawings of other objects that begin with the letter L such as light bulb and lightening.
Snacks that Teach the Letter L
Have a taste test for snack time to teach the letter L. Have students tie a bandana around their eyes to blind fold each other, and then have them taste different foods such as lemon, lime, and licorice. See if students can correctly identify each food. You can also have lemon-lime pie, and lemonade to drink.
Activities that Teach the Letter L
Teach the letter L by having students make a lion puppet. Have a lunch bag sized paper bag for each student. Have orange construction paper for each student, and show them how to cut out a lion’s mane by cutting a ragged circle. Glue the circle on the mouth part of the paper bag, and then cut out eyes, nose, mouth and ears from other colors of construction paper.
Once the lion face is glued together on the bag, have students use yellow, orange and brown crayons to color the rest of the bag. Using crayons will help the bag look like hair like you may see on an actual lion. Allow students to make other puppet creatures, and put on a puppet show. To make a big show out of it, have students practice their puppet show and invite parents to come in and watch the production.
Teach students the letter L through fun taste testing snack time and puppet making craft time. Come up with other ideas as well, to reinforce the letter L. Emphasize that learning begins with the letter L, so make sure that students learn each day while completing the letter L activities.
