How to Play the Alphabet Workout for Kids

1. We started this alphabet exercise idea with an ABC puzzle on our floor (you could also use paper with the letters written on them or print our alphabet exercise cards below).
2. We placed the puzzle pieces – ABC’s all over the room.
3. We mixed them up, so that kids would have to find a letter and then walk or run between the letters. Starting with the letter A continuing through the letters in sequence until we got to the letter Z.
4. Each letter was assigned a movement (see alphabet exercises list below) that started with that letter sound that could be done in the space around the found letter.
5. (Optional) Try thinking of new exercises for each letter of the alphabet!
