Why might I need a list of things that start with I?
There are many reasons to use a letter I idea list. Many of them have to do with learning about the letter I and schooling (but not all). As a previous early childhood teacher there were many times I needed a list like this. It cam in handy so many times when learning about the letter I and looking for letter I ideas and activities. Here are some of the top reasons to use this idea list:
- Show and Tell – many times teachers will specify which letter they want to learn about and which letter they want children to bring show and tell items in for the week. This is an engaging way for children to learn about letters and sounds. Here are some tips for school show and tell:
- Pick an item from the list that is grade level and school appropriate.
- Pick an item from the list that is easy to carry to school in a backpack or canvas bag.
- You don’t need to purchase an item specifically for show and tell. Just look around the home to find one you have from this list.
- Prep your child ahead of time so that they know what to say about their item
- Scavenger Hunt – You can do an around the room scavenger hunt or an around the classroom one as well. Use this list as a guide and children can find items on the list and cross off how many they have. You could also take kids on a scavenger hunt in a store to find and cross off the letter I items, grandma’s house, or anywhere else. You can also use these ideas to make your own list of items to find.
- Scrabble Ideas – As long as your opponent doesn’t deem this as cheating it would make a great list to help come up with scrabble or crossword ideas.
- Letter I learning – Use this as a background list when creating a letter I anchor chart for kids, when learning about the letter and sounds that I make, and more.
- Letter I trivia questions – Use this when coming up with trivia questions for letter I. Choose an item from the list and create questions based on it. You can also use it for the Scattergories game and list animals that start with I, toys that start with I, etc…
