Sing and Identify:
Look at the letters together and sing the alphabet song while pointing to each box.
Pause before a missing letter and ask:
“Which letter is missing?”

Hide-and-Seek Game:
Hold up a card with a letter (for example, C) and ask children to find the missing letter gift box hidden in the room.
When found, the child returns to the circle and says:
“I found the letter C gift box! It was under the chair!”

Small Group

1. Place the bows (uppercase letters) in a container and the gift box cards (lowercase letters) on a tray.
2. Let children match uppercase letter bows to the lowercase letter boxes.
