Apple Activities for Preschool
Before we get started, I like refreshing our alphabet knowledge by reciting the alphabet with toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, and grade 1 students. This is especially beneficial for ESL / ELL kids.
Then students are ready for a fun, hands on, apple activity for kindergarten. This is such a fun educational activity for back to school, first day of school, fall, and September apple themes!
Apple Games
This apple educational activities is a fun way to work on visual discrimination and letter recognition with children as they are working on learning their ABCs, both upper and lowercase letters.
Get each student to pick one strip and then read out the letter shown on the apple tree. Then try to find the matching letters on the apples. They read each letter as they prepare to clip the boxes. Once they identify that it is the same letter showing on the tree, they then clip the boxes. If you are a teacher using this activity in your classroom in a literacy center where kids work independently, I would make it self checking. Simply put a star or circle sticker on the back where your students pegs should be .
