"Connections" Activity #2

Alphabet Hunt

Here’s one for all your parents who have a little one at home just learning the alphabet.

Take a walk in an urban area, a park, a public building, a forest, or even around your home. Look around in your surroundings and start looking for things that look like letters of the alphabet. I bet you can find close to, if not all, of the 26 letters! 

We completed our own at Batawa and put it into a collage for you to see how we did. 

Looking up, down, sideways, & upside down!

Make it into a scavenger hunt and time how long it takes. Can’t find a letter? Try making it out of whatever materials you can pick up like sticks, pinecones, or rope.

Our book recommendation.

Inspired by this amazing book by Stephen Johnson. Each page is a stunning picture of a different letter of the alphabet found in the city!
