Play Practice ladder game of letters
Draw a grid and write letters the learners have studied so far in it on the floor

Letter grid, four rows. Visible labels, values, and notation include: a; S; P; k; h; g; f; m.

a k f D
s b m O
p h k H
k g k M
Divide the class into 2, 3, or 4 groups, (the number depends on the number of learners in the class).
The rule for the game is that When you call out a word, a volunteer (a child) runs and hops onto the space where the beginning letter of the word is placed on the grid. If the child is correct, the group gets a point.
Keep on calling out words and the groups send volunteers to hop on the letter in the box on the floor.
If the child is incorrect, the group loses the chance and does not get a point. If nobody knows it, you need to demonstrate and hop on the grid and no one gets a
point Those who got it wrong will be given the word and the letter to take home and relearn. Select a group to start with.
