Learning About the Alphabet

This webquest is designed for kindergarten age children

and will require a parent or teacher to guide them through.

Welcome boys and girls to an exciting, interactive webquest where you learn about the alphabet.

Your job is to work through the alphabet games in this webquest. You will be learning how to recognize the letters of the alphabet, match capital letters to lowercase letters, put the letters in ABC order, and learn the sound each letter makes.

Click on the links to educational sites that will help you to complete each task listed above.  The sites are in order so that you will be challenged as you move through the activities.

1. Elmo's Keyboard-O-Rama 

Let's learn letters with Elmo.  Press any letter on the keyboard and Elmo will tell you the letter and something that begins with that letter. You can press the spacebar to hear Elmo giggle!

2. Paw Park

There are some confused kangaroos at the park.  They need to find their Mommy's and Daddy's.  Match the capital and lowercase letters to help the kangaroo kids find their parents.

3. Alphabet Letter Puzzle

Now let's match capital letters to lowercase letters.  As you match the capital and lowercase letters the computer will show you a piece of the puzzle.  See how many puzzles you can put together.

4. Alphabet Action

Click on the green arrow to see each letter in action.

5. Alphabetical Whack-a-Mole

This game is so much fun.  Whack the moles on the head with the hammer, but be sure you whack them in ABC order.  As you whack each mole, the letters will appear in a line at the top of the screen.

6. Letters to Big Bird

It is time to learn the sound that each letter makes. Big Bird is going to check his mailbox for letters. You must tell him the things he has that begin with that letter.

7. JoJo's Letter Sound Dash

You are almost finished, but not before we take a trip to Disney.com.  JoJo wants to play with you.  She wants to race you the finish line by matching letters to the sound they make.
