How to Use the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Letter Activity:
For this letter order activity, your preschoolers and kindergarteners will say the names of the capital or lowercase letters on their card.
Next, they will identify the missing letter from the sequential order.
Then, your students will sort through the cookie cards to find the letter that they need.
Finally, they will attach the cookie card in the middle of the other two to complete the sequence.
For example, if your kids have a mouse and cookie card with “A” and “C” cookies. They will look for the “B” cookie card.
When they find it, they will place or attach the “B” cookie card in between the “A” and “C.”
Your young learners will continue finding the missing letters in the sequences until they complete the activity.
This Mouse and Cookie Letter Order Activity is a fun, hands-on way for your preschoolers and kindergarteners to practice identifying letter sequences.
