1. Christmas Alphabet Book

Create a class alphabet book! Each preschooler decorates a page with a Christmas picture representing a letter (A is for Angel, B is for Bells). Write the letter and a simple sentence together.

Sign Language Component:

• ⭐️ Introduce signs for the different things students will draw and color, such as “angel,” “tree,” and “toys.”

2. Christmas Letter Ornaments

Cut out construction paper ornaments in different shapes. Students can decorate and write letters on each ornament using glitter or markers.

Sign Language Component:

• ⭐️ Practice signing “ornament,” colors, and the alphabet.

3. Christmas Letter Hunt

Hide Christmas objects around the classroom that start with a specific letter. Provide preschoolers with clipboards with pictures of the letter and have them find the objects that match.

Sign Language Component:

• ⭐️ Practice signs for everyday Christmas objects like “stocking” and “candle.”

4. Letter Matching Games

Cut out Christmas pictures and write corresponding uppercase and lowercase letters on separate cards. Students can match the pictures to the letters that start with the sound the picture makes.

Sign Language Component:

• ⭐️ Practice fingerspelling the ABCs.

By incorporating these fun and interactive activities, you can transform learning the alphabet into a magical Christmas experience for your preschoolers. They’ll be singing their Christmas ABCs in no time, all while developing essential early literacy skills with an extra touch of sign language to promote inclusivity.
