My series on show and tell letter of the week ideas continues today with show and tell letter w ideas. As a teacher and mom I have loads of show and tell experience that I want to share with you all! Hopefully there is something here in the list of 135 ideas that will spark an idea for you and your kiddo.
Beyond just giving you letter W 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 for W show and tell in your car 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!
