I just posted a play mat tutorial on my personal blog which includes Alphabet games for learning phonics. You can also use the same rules for practicing your hand signing! If you don't have sewing skills or the time to sew a quilted mat, you can achieve the same games by printing out page sized alphabet letters to lay on the floor, and a couple of bean bags. (Small beanie babies work GREAT!) If you use them a lot, you may choose to laminate the letters. Here are the instructions....
Alphabet Signing games The floor is the pond, and on the pond place pieces of paper with the letters of the Alphabet. Use beanbags as "men" and borrow a dice from another game to roll for moves Games to Play Depending how old you are and how much you sign, you can play the alphabet game in so many ways. If you are Learning your letters, roll the die and jump the number of squares. Sign the letter you land on correctly! If you don’t name it correctly the first time, you miss a turn. If you are Learning Words, roll the die and jump the number of squares. Name a word that starts with that letter and sign it! If you can spell, roll the die and jump the number of squares. Name a word that starts with that letter and finger spell that word correctly. If you are wrong you miss a turn. At your next turn, spell the word correctly before you move the dice to move on. The first person in any game to reach the letter “Z” wins the game! Beanbag Toss Game Decide how many tosses each person gets. Toss a doll, and which ever letter the doll lands on, follow the directions in one of the games above minus the die. Make a point system if you wish: 1 point if you land in water but name a letter close by, 2 points for landing on a lily pad 3 points for landing on a flower Keep score on a chalkboard or paper, and at the end of the tosses, add up the score to see who has the most points
