Rotten Apples! Alphabet Small Group Activities | Letter ID Intervention

More about this resource...

Looking for a new way to practice letter ID and letter naming fluency? Rotten Apples is the perfect alphabet small group activity for intervention or a small guided reading group alphabet game.

Students will spin a number and move their game piece that many spaces. They will identify the letter they land on. If they land on a Rotten Apple space, they lose a turn!

You can also use this letter ID and recognition game to practice letter sounds. Just have students say the letter sound when they land on each spot!

This game is endless – the gameboard is closed and it can continue as long as you need it to.

Color and black and white are included! You can send the black and white versions home as a fun parent game to play for alphabet review.
