It’s summer still but I’m thinking about back to school already and working my way through each letter of the alphabet as a part of this show and letter of the week show and tell ideas. Today I’ve got 110 ideas for show and tell letter L for you all. As a teacher and mom I have plenty of show and tell experience to share with you all.
Beyond just giving you letter L show and tell ideas I wanted to be sure to mention a few show and tell tips that apply for every letter.
Show and Tell Tips from a Teacher and Mom
- Look through your kid’s stuffed animals and action figures. Sometimes you can find a character whose name starts with the letter that you need.
- Look through your child’s books. You might find a book with a title that begins with the letter that you need
- When all else fails have your kiddo take in an alphabet block with the letter on it or a an alphabet letter magnet.
- My son once took in a picture that he colored from a coloring book. The picture was of something that started with the letter of the week and he loved showing off his artwork during share time.
And this won’t help you think of anything but this last tip will help keep you out of a bind-
My #1 Show and Tell Tip
Set a reminder on your phone for the night before show and tell.
That way you won’t forget and scramble to find something in your car for show and tell letter L while you wait in the drop off line for school. Yes, yes that did happen to me. Don’t be me. You’re better than that!
