Activity

Search for letters in nature! While out on a walk or hike, look for letters on buildings, road signs, trail signs, and anywhere else they may appear. 

Turn it into an "I Spy" game by having one person announce, "I spy the letter A," or "I spy something that makes an ess sound," while the rest of the group tries to find that letter or sound. 

Materials

All you need for this activity can be found outdoors. With a little imagination, you'll start noticing letters everywhere!

Skill Building
