Letter recognition becomes an interactive game with these Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Cards, a hands-on Christmas-themed alphabet activity designed to keep preschool and kindergarten students engaged while practicing essential literacy skills.

In this playful pocket chart game, students use uppercase and lowercase letter recognition to guess which alphabet cards are hiding festive Christmas lights. Every guess encourages children to visually scan the alphabet, say letter names aloud, and stay focused as they narrow down their choices.

It feels like a game, but it delivers meaningful alphabet practice every step of the way.

This Christmas alphabet pocket chart activity is easy to prep, flexible to use, and ideal for classrooms that need high engagement without added chaos. It works just as well for circle time as it does for literacy centers, small groups, or independent partner play.

If your students love games and you want a seasonal way to reinforce the alphabet, this letter recognition activity is an easy win for December.

The Christmas Tree Theme Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Cards are also included in the Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Cards ENDLESS Bundle.

Students take turns guessing which letters are hiding the lights. Encourage them to say the letter name with each guess.

Great morning activity!

I teach at a full day preschool program. I am always looking for activities that will hold the student's interest as well as help with fine motor. These activities are placed out first thing in the morning as students are filing in. Everyone quickly unpacks so that they can participate.

My students enjoyed this

I have a number of these games and they are always a hit. I have my students use tongs to pick up small erasers and cover the pictures so they can work on fine motor skills.

Just what I needed!

I love the "Flip" activities. They're always colorful and engaging. These activities reinforce childrens use of language, labeling, identifying of vocabulary associated with specific themes. My students in the past have loved the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall flip, so when I wanted to update my beginning of the school year activities I happened to find the September themed one and knew I had to purchase it. I laminate my mats and have the kids cover the images with colored small or large game chips, vase jewels or playdough. If the images on the mats are too busyi make sure to uave extra copies for the kids to engage in matching the images. The kids love it!
