Easy Magnetic Letter Alphabet I Spy Game

I absolutely adore the little circle magnet boards that are in the Target Dollar Spot right now. To use them off of the wall, you just need to remove the picture hanger from the back. You could do this activity with it hanging on the wall, but I love the portability of having it off the wall.

If you can’t get the circle magnet board, any magnetic surface will work. A refrigerator, magnetic white board or other magnetic board will be fine.

To start I divided up the letters of the alphabet onto two boards and also divided the alphabet cards. With a young learner, it is better to allow her to focus on fewer letters at a time.

Then, allow the child to select an alphabet card and find the matching letter on the board. We removed the letters as we found them.

Continue until all the letters have been found.

Extension ideas:

Select the letters for the child’s name and have them find the letters in order.

Match uppercase letter cards to lowercase magnetic letters or vice versa.

In the alphabet card download below, I also included numbers, so you could also use this activity to do a number I Spy.
