Editable Alphabet Game
There are so many things I love about this game, including it’s inspired by one of the greatest alphabet books of all time, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
This game is NO PREP and simple to play, like all our other Print & Play Games. But this time, I have a new trick up my sleeve. This alphabet game is editable.
YOU get to completely control the letters that go on your boards! 6 color boards are included and 6 black and white boards are included, so you have plenty of space to make multiple games. You just need to be sure you type 6 uppercase letters and 6 lowercase letters on each board.
Don’t know how to edit files? Directions are included in the download so you’ll know exactly how to edit them.
How to Play
These are also played just like our other Print & Play Games. My Kindergartner enjoyed these to practice her uppercase and lowercase letter recognition. She wanted to play alone, so I watched.
This time, we used brown-ish pom poms to be our coconuts and put them at start.
She rolled the die and matched it to a spot on the board with that same die/dot pattern. She identified the letter and told if it was uppercase or lowercase.
Since it was uppercase, she moved the “coconut” closer to the top of the coconut tree on the uppercase side.
The first side to “beat” the other side to the top of the coconut tree is the winner! {It’s okay if sometimes they roll the same number more than 2x, but I try to encourage kids to roll again if the same number keeps coming up.}
Easy to Differentiate
If you teach multiple learners, chances are pretty high that they don’t all need the exact same boards. Here are some simple ways you can differentiate with this editable alphabet game. You might even think of more ways!
Level 1: Type uppercase and lowercase letters just for one letter. In this example, I chose letter Aa.
Level 2: Pick random letters that are visually different, like I used with my Kindergartner.
Level 3: Pick random letters that are visually similar. This makes it a little more difficult.

Thanks! We love it.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
It will not let me edit it. I have the download but there is no gray box to type it. That happened when I downloaded one of your editable name pages also. I downloaded the font but it will not let me type it in the area as there is not grey box. I love your products so would really like to get these to work. Don’t know what I am doing wrong.
