H and P Letters

H was a nice and easy letter and I found a lot of fun learning activities. We spent two days playing around with the letter H, watching videos, saying H in our hand to hear the hhh sound. Here are a few ideas to play and learn with the letter H.

Find letter Hh items on yourself, head, hand, heel, hair, heart.

Learn about hippopotamuses: http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/hippopotamus/

Happy: Tell mom what makes you happy.

House: Draw a house

Hawaii: Look at the globe and find Hawaii. Talk about the islands and boats.

Practice the sound of the letter by putting our hands in front of our mouth to feel the hot air.

Play hide and seek.

Say Hi, Hello, How Are You? all H words.

Play hopscotch - make a court using sidewalk chalk outside or masking tape inside.

Dip your hand in a plate of paint and make hand prints.

The letter P was not as exciting but I really didn't do much research. We did spend two days going over the letter P. We watched short you tube videos, found the letter P in a word search, practiced writing the letter P, made a P collage with glue and torn pieces of paper, and painted a rock (rocks from one of our hiking trips). P was a pretty easy letter I guess.


The rocks are going to be covered soon, those plants really spread, and I don't think the paint is going to hold up to the weather and watering but that is ok, we had fun making them.
