The Quiet Game and Other Letter Q Activities

March 3, 2017 By Dani Wagner Leave a Comment

One week you are teaching the Letter A and have a plethora of amazing activities. You have the kids marching like ants, eating apples, reading about Aunt Alice’s Airplane, making apple pie, and more.  Then, you move on to Letter Q and your creativity comes to a crashing halt.

Let’s face it, some letters are harder to teach than others.

Our letter this week was Q! Other than quilts, queens, and quail there isn’t a whole lot you can do with this letter. At least I struggle! Quiet Game, Letter Q,

In order to add a little fun to our week we played this Quiet Game with a twist.

The Quiet Game

I don’t know about your preschoolers, but mine love to be noisy! So I took advantage of that and ran with it. We opened our music bin and took out all the noise makers we could find.

I explained to the kids that I wanted them to make as much noise as they could until I said, “Quiet”. Then, they were to freeze. We did this for about 15 minutes. I alternated how long I waited to say “Quiet” to keep them on their toes.

Below you will find a short video of the kids playing our version of the Quiet Game with a twist.

 

 

We also did quite a bit with Quilts this week. Below you will find examples of our work with quilts and patterns, the descriptions, and links to the printables that you see. The kids had a blast creating their own quilts using pieces of scrapbook paper. This mama loved the scissor practice the kids got out of the pattern activity. They also did a fabulous job cutting out the squares and finishing off each pattern. And who doesn’t love Skittles, the Letter Q quilt page was perfect for snack time. Not only did they get to make a Skittle quilt, they also got a sweet little snack.

I guess my creativity didn’t completely come to a halt! 🙂

Letter Q, Quiet Game, Preschool, activities

 

  1. We read Llama Llama, Red Pajama. We talked about the quilt that Baby Llama has on his bed and what a quilt is. Then, we made our own quilt using this template from Crayola and scrapbook paper squares.
  2. The kids had a blast using this printable from Making Learning Fun and Skittles to create a quilt.
  3. We also worked on Patterns with this printable from Miss D’s Teaching Tools on TpT.

What do you do when your creativity comes to a screeching halt? What are your favorite preschool activities for the Letter Q?
