This ABC game is sure to be a hit with firemen fans. Just grab a pack of brightly colored index cards, a water sprayer and a fireman’s outfit {if you have one} and you’re ready to spray.

The ABC game has become a must-play in our house and I hope it will be a favorite with your kids, too.

Getting Ready

To prep the ABC game, I stacked several of the cards on top of each other and used my scissors to shape flames. Then, I wrote one alphabet letter on each card. (I decided to use lowercase letters this time around but you could play the same game with uppercase letters instead.)

I placed a roll of tape on the back of each letter and spread the flames out on our fence like this:

Then, it was time to invite my 3.5 year-old over to play our fun ABC game. C quickly pulled on our fireman outfit and filled his water shooter with water from our kiddie pool. He was ready and excited for his first challenge.

Using a call-to-action kind of voice, I announced that the letter (r) was on fire. C needed to use his water shooter to put out the flames as quickly as possible. He hurriedly searched the cards to find the matching letter and then doused it.

I called out several more letters for him to spray before we started working on some other ABC skills including:

  • Spelling (and spraying) each letter in his own name and the names of other family members.
  • Extinguishing the letter that makes a certain sound. (“Spray the letter that says /m/.”)
  • Dousing the letter that comes next in the alphabet. (“What comes after the letter D?”)
  • Spraying the first letter in certain words. (“What is the first letter in the word cat? It makes the /c/ sound.”)
  • Extinguishing the lowercase letter that matches an uppercase letter. (“Look at the capital letter I wrote on this piece of paper. What flame shows another way of writing this letter?)

Our ABC game was a huge hit with my son, and I hope your kids will enjoy playing it, too.
