You will need a laminated letter for each child.  Depending on the children's knowledge, this may be the first letter of their first name.  Give each child a letter and ask them to collect items they can find that may begin with that same letter.  You can include "explorer gear" to help in their search such as baskets, buckets, magnifying glasses, flashlights and binoculars.  See how many items each child can find or pair children with a buddy to play as a team.  This is a fun activity to do outside on the playground or during an indoor recess.
