How to Play

Place each of the mats side by side on a flat surface. Give the students the letter cards to sort into the correct letter mat. Some alternative ways to complete include:

• * File Folder Game - Glue the mats inside a file folder, one on either side of the inside of the folder. Use loop and hook fasteners (if desired) to place the letter cards in the correct letter mat.

• * Baking Tray Game - Place the mats side by side on a baking tray. Place magnets on the back of the letter cards so they stick to the letter mats on the baking tray when sorted.
  This sorting activity is low prep. The teacher needs to print out the mats and letter cards pages. The letter card page need to be cut out. The pages can be laminated if desired so that this sorting activity can be used over and over.
