Did you know that the letters of the alphabet are like treasure maps leading us to the treasures of reading and writing? But first, we need to find all the letters hidden around us!”

“Once upon a time, in a magical land where letters could talk, there existed a treasure chest filled with sparkling words. But oh no! The letters have scattered all over the kingdom! Our mission is to gather each letter and bring it back to unlock the treasure chest!”

Call to Action
“Are you ready to become Alphabet Explorers? To start, we need to find the magical letter cards hidden around the classroom! When I say ‘GO!’, search for as many letter cards as you can find and bring them back to the starting point!”
