Overview
The children will look for the letter E inside Easter eggs as they recognize and name the letter E.

Literacy Activities
Find the letter E everywhere

• Place letter cards in plastic Easter eggs and hide the eggs around the room.
• Write the letter E on a whiteboard, name the letter, and have the children write the E in the air with their fingers.
• Write the word egg on the board and point out that egg starts with the letter E.
• Have the children look for the plastic eggs and open them to find the letter inside.
• Support each child in naming the letters inside the eggs.
  • If the letter is an E, have the child put the empty egg in the egg carton, and put the letter card in an envelope.
  • If the letter is not an E, have the child leave the egg outside the egg carton and place the letter card in the discard pile.
  • If a child misidentifies a distractor letter as an E, have him or her look at the E on the whiteboard and compare them to the letter he or she picked.
