Back To School or Fall Apple Alphabet Cards Preschool Printable — Photo Source: applesandabcs.blogspot.com

Michelle Griffo over at Apples and ABC's created these simple, yet handy apple alphabet cards that would work great in a back-to-school or fall literacy {or writing} center!

What we love about these cards is that they're super versatile. There are the usual suspects {i.e. ordering, matching, etc.}, but there are also a lot of unique ways to use these cards...

Printing Practice. Laminate the cards so that once your kiddos are done ordering, matching, etc. they can use dry erase markers to trace the letters.
Games Galore. Again, there are the usual suspects like Concentration and Go Fish! - however, you might also try a classmate scavenger hunt or apple 'hot potato'.
- Classmate scavenger hunt. Place the apple letter cards in a bag, mix them up, and invite each of your students to reach in a select a card. On your mark, have them race to find their classmate with the matching upper/lower case letter card.
- Apple 'hot potato'. Place all of the letter cards in a bag. Have your kiddos sit in a circle, then play music and invite them to pass the bag around. When the music stops, invite the student left holding the bag to select a card from it and identify the letter. Identified correctly - on their own and/or with help - have them set the card in front of them, then start the music and repeat the process.
Letter Identification. Great for small group review, arrange the letter cards onto an apple tree cutout and provide each of your kiddos with a basket 'activity mat'. Taking turns, invite your students to 'pick' an apple and identify the letter. Identified correctly, have the student keep the apple, placing it in their basket. [NOTE: You can also call out a letter and have your students take turns selecting the correct one.]

Aren't these cards great?! There are just so many things you and your kiddos can do with them! Be sure to visit Apples and ABC's for the download.

**By the by, there's also a cute letter matching worksheet to go along with the apple alphabet cards! Don't miss it :)
