Write upper case letters on one color of paper plates and lower case on another color. Keep them handy for lots of activities. Pass out the upper case letters to the children, one to each child. Place the lower case letters on the floor. Chant, “Letters on a plate, letters on a plate. Who can find letters on a plate?” Children find the match to their letter and return to their spaces. After all the letters are matched put on some lively music and do “The Paper Plate Dance.” The children copy a leader doing various motions with the plates such as clapping together, waving overhead, touching alternate knees all while keeping to the beat of the music. This could be done in large group.
