Letter of the Week A-Z Series: L is for Lion

Today I am excited to get back to our letter of the week series. We made an adorable L is for Lion letter craft, played a fun Loud as a Lion game that my kids loved, read a lion story, and even sang a lion song. I have the free printables available to download so everything you need is ready to go.

If you are unfamiliar with our A-Z letter of the week series you should stop by and see all the fun ideas we have shared, complete with printables.

The long delay was because my computer memory filled up and I had to transfer my files to an external hard drive. Upon doing so I lost ALL of our A-Z files (technology isn’t always my friend). I was a bit discouraged with having to re-make printables, crafts, and things, but now I am recharged and ready to complete the rest of the alphabet. The crafts and activities are designed to be fun and simple and can be done in one day or across several days. It’s fun, so let’s continue on our way to Z!

Loud Like a Lion Activity

My kids thought it was so fun being as loud as they possibly could be. They also giggled when we would quickly switch back and forth. At the beginning of the activity I had to keep reminding them to pay attention so they wouldn’t miss me changing the lions. By the end of the activity, they where attentive and watching every movement to make sure they didn’t miss the switch. It was fun times for us all!

Objectives: Learning about vocal volume, Practice following directions, Paying attention to a leader, Practice being a leader

Age Group: Preschool/ Tot School

Supplies:
Popsickle Sticks
Tape or Glue
Music instruments (optional)

Directions:
To prep the activity: cut out the two lines from the printable and tape or glue each one to a popsickle stick. Ask kids to point out which lion looks like they are being loud, and which lion looks like it is being quiet. Discuss times when we are supposed to be quiet (library, movie theater, church, doctors office…) and times when it’s okay to be loud (at a party, park, if yelling for help…)

To play the activity: Hold one of the lions up at a time and have the children either be loud or quiet according to which lion you are holding up. Kids can use their voices, stomp feet or clap hands, or play instruments. Each child can have a turn being the leader and holding up the lion faces to the group.

I hope your little lions have fun! Click here to sign up for our weekly newsletter and receive exclusive subscriber freebies.  You can also catch us on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter.

    When I tried to open the L sight word printable, it immediately opened up dropbox and said the file was deleted or moved. Any ideas on how I can download that to print it off? Thanks!
