Lesson Plan By Josh Gallmeyer
Borrowed From Christopher Faulkner
Lesson: Alphabet Game Length: 12 hours
Age or Grade Intended: Kindergarten
Academic Standards:
K.1.6 Recognize and name all capital and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
K.1.14 Match all consonant sounds (mad, red, pin, top, sun) to appropriate letters.
K.1.18 Understand the alphabetic principle, which means that as letters in words change, so do
the sounds.
K.1.9 Blend consonantvowelconsonant (cvc) sounds aloud to make words.
Performance Objectives:
1. The kindergarten students will recognize and orally name all of the letters of the alphabet when
shown each letter individually.
2. The kindergarten students will pronounce words correctly when orally speaking them with
80% accuracy.
3. The kindergarten students will decode words to orally speak the correct pronunciation of the
word with 80% accuracy.
4. The kindergarten students will name words that start with a certain letter when that letter is
given to them with 90% accuracy.
Advanced Preparation by Teacher:
The teacher will have gone over the alphabet previously in class. Also right before the activity the
teacher will go over an alphabet book. During this time the students will think of other words
that go with each letter of the alphabet. The teacher needs to have a set of index cards with each
one having a different letter of the alphabet on it. Finally, the teacher needs to have some form of
music to play during the last part of the activity.
Procedure:
Introduction/Motivation: The teacher needs to show a lot of enthusiasm for letters; this
will get the students interested as well. The teacher can explain that the students are going to
name words that begin with certain letters and that there is a fun activity that is going to go along
with it. This activity will be fun and the students will want to participate and learn.
StepbyStep Plan:
1. Go over the lesson and introduce the activities. This is where the hook is
given.
2. Read the alphabet book to the class as they sit in a circle on the floor.
3. The children will think of words for each letter while the book is being read.
(Knowledge) (Gardner Intrapersonal/Lingistic)
4. The children will sit in a circle and each student will get an index card with a
letter on it.
5. The student will say the letter and give a word that begins with that letter.
(Knowledge) (Gardner Intrapersonal/Linguistic)
6. After every student has said their letter and a word, the students will get up and
put their card on their chair.
7. Music will be played and once it stops, the students have to sit in the chair that
they are in front of and say the new letter and a new word. (Knowledge)
(Gardner Musical/Intrapersonal/Linguistic)
8. Repeat this three or four times or until you think the students are making
progress.
9. Bring closure to the activity by collecting the index cards and having the
students sit in their regular seats.
10 Have a discussion of the lesson in order to receive feedback from the students.
(Comprehension/ Evaluation)
Closure: This lesson will end when the teacher has collected the index cards and gotten
the students to sit back in their seats. There will be a class discussion about what the students
liked, disliked, found challenging, and what other things that they think could have been done
during the lesson (Gardner Interpersonal). (Evaluation)
Adaptions/Enrichments: For students that aren’t ready to for this activity, I could make
adaptions for them. For instance if they can’t find words that begin with that letter I can give
them a list of words and have them pick the ones out that look the same as the letter at the top of
the page. (Knowledge/Comprehension) For example, if the letter is A, then I will have an A at
the top of the page and list words like Apple, Big, Cat, Alligator, etc. and have them circle the
ones that begin with A. For enrichments I would have the students form sentences with the word
that they created rather than just saying the word. (Comprehension/Application) This will help
them by challenging them a little bit more than the other students but they aren’t really doing too
much extra.
SelfReflection: A lot of this section is also mentioned in the closure part of the lesson. I will ask
the students what they liked, disliked, found to be difficult, or what else they would have added to
the activities. This will help me determine if the lesson was fun and enjoyable and also if the
students learned anything from it. I can observe the students while they are pronouncing words
so that I can talk to them afterwards and determine what’s going wrong and help those students
out later down the road if the problem continues. As for myself again, as long as the standards
are met and I can see that my objectives succeed, then the lesson went well. If they don’t get met
then there are things that I have to do to get it going in the right direction next time.
