St. Patrick's Day Alphabet Pocket Chart Game

Get students excited about learning the letters of the alphabet with this St. Patrick's Day pocket chart hide and seek game.

What is Included:

This resource includes two sets of alphabet cards in two different sizes to accommodate different sized pocket charts. There are three different leprechaun images for teachers to choose from to hide behind one of the letters. The alphabet cards are available in both capital and lowercase letters.

How to Play:

To play, teachers will place the letter cards into the pocket chart in any order they desire. Without the students looking, the teacher will hide one leprechaun picture behind one letter. Students will then either say the letter name or letter sound to guess the letter they think the leprechaun is hiding behind. If that leprechaun is not hiding behind that letter, the students will guess a different letter. If the leprechaun is behind the letter, students have found the leprechaun and to play more, it will need to be hidden again. There is an optional poem that can be chanted before each letter guess to make the game more interactive.

This pocket chart game is a low prep option for teachers to use with students. Once created, the game can be used over and over in various classroom settings.
