Chicka Chicka Boom Boom – Literacy & Math Activity

About this resource

What's inside this resource

A coconut-palm alphabet chart lists all twenty-six lowercase letters for students to color, with a line at the bottom for writing their own name. A second page shows a stack of ten numbered coconuts for students to count before writing the total in a blank. The two pages work independently: one is a letter-recognition and name-writing task, the other a one-to-one counting task. Both are ready to print with no extra assembly, needing only crayons or colored pencils to complete.
