Description

Alphabet Flashlight Cards give children a playful way to search for, reveal, and identify letters.

Students use a flashlight to shine light behind the cards and discover the hidden letters. This simple setup turns letter recognition into a hands-on activity that feels exciting while still keeping the focus on alphabet practice.

The resource includes a full set of 26 alphabet cards, along with additional pages that feature eight cards of the same letter for targeted practice. This makes it easy to use the cards for general alphabet review or for a focused letter-of-the-week activity.

Use the cards on a flat surface, in a sensory bin, at a letter table, during small group instruction, or as a multisensory center activity.

What’s Inside

This resource includes:

• Full set of 26 alphabet cards

• Additional targeted letter pages

• Pages with 8 cards of the same letter for focused letter practice

• Printable cards designed for flashlight discovery activities

How to Use

Apply a glue stick to each alphabet card and cover it with cardstock or construction paper.

Place the cards cardstock-side up on a flat surface or in a sensory bin.

Students use a flashlight to shine light from behind the cards, reveal the hidden letters, and identify each one.

For a letter-of-the-week activity, choose the targeted page for your focus letter and add eight random alphabet cards. Students use their flashlights to search for all instances of the weekly letter among the cards.

Use this activity during small group instruction, alphabet review, sensory play, letter tables, or independent center time.

Prep Tip

Print the cards, then cover each card with cardstock or construction paper so students can use a flashlight to reveal the letter. Store cards by letter if you want quick access for letter-of-the-week activities or targeted review.

Physical materials such as glue sticks, cardstock, construction paper, flashlights, sensory bins, or sensory fillers are not included.
