Start with a Story

I always love beginning my lessons with a story. You can kick off this lesson by reading the story of Jonah and the Whale straight from the Bible or a children’s Bible.

Or, you can choose a storybook version of the Jonah and the Whale story like the ones shown below.

Prepping the Activity

To prepare this activity, print the letter cards on cardstock and laminate them for durability. You can laminate the whale mats or leave them plain.

If you laminate them, have kids identify letters with a dry erase marker. If you don’t laminate them, kids can use markers or bingo dotters.

Playing the Game

Cut apart the laminated alphabet cards. There is one set of uppercase and one set of lowercase letters.

Turn the cards facedown on a table. Have students flip over one card, identify the letter on the card, and find it on the whale mat.

Students can mark the letters with a dot marker, pencil, button, or mini-eraser.

You can have kids match uppercase-uppercase, uppercase-lowercase, lowercase-uppercase, or lowercase-lowercase.
