What’s Included:

Shark to Feed
26 Fish with Capital Letters
26 Fish with Lowercase Letters

What Else Is Needed:

White Card Stock or Copy Paper
Scissors
Paper Bag or Cardboard Box
Glue

To get this letter activity ready for your preschoolers, click on the button below and fill out the form. Then, download and print the shark and fish.

I like to print my resources on white card stock, because it is more durable. But, you can use copy paper too.

Next, laminate the shark and fish, so your kids can use them over and over. Then, cut the pieces apart.

Finally, tape or glue the shark on a paper bag or cardboard box (such as a small tissue box) and cut the mouth out.

You may also want to sort the capital and lowercase letter fish into two different groups, so your students can work on one at a time.

How To Use The Shark Letter Recognition Activity:

For this alphabet activity, your preschoolers will pick a fish and say the name of the capital or lowercase letter on it as they “feed” it to the shark.

If your pre-readers have just begun learning the names of the letters, start with just a few capital or lowercase letters. You can then add more fish as their letter knowledge increases.

This Shark Letter Recognition Activity is a fun, hands-on way for your preschoolers to practice identifying capital and lowercase letters this summer!

How Can This Activity Be Differentiated?

If your children can fluently name all of the capital and lowercase letters, they can practice finding the letters in their name.

Your kids can also say the sound that each letter makes as they feed the shark. If they know all the letter sounds, your students can work on spelling words such as sight words or CVC words.
