This Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Game turns letter recognition into an exciting, hands-on guessing game that keeps students engaged, focused, and excited to participate.

With colorful fishbowl alphabet cards and playful fish hiding behind the letters, children practice identifying uppercase letters and lowercase letters while thinking they are just playing a game.

Instead of drilling the alphabet with flashcards or worksheets, students interact with letters through movement, memory, and discussion. This makes alphabet practice feel fun, low-pressure, and meaningful.

Designed for preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, ELL students, and early intervention, this alphabet hide and seek game is easy to differentiate and works beautifully in both small group and whole group settings.

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

What’s Included in the Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Game:

✨ Uppercase alphabet cards with fishbowls (color)

✨ Lowercase alphabet cards with fishbowls (color)

✨ Uppercase alphabet cards (black and white)

✨ Lowercase alphabet cards (black and white)

✨ Fish hiding cards to place behind the fishbowls

✨ Differentiated recording pages for uppercase letters

✨ Differentiated recording pages for lowercase letters

✨ Simple teacher instructions with prep and play tips

All alphabet cards are designed to fit inside a standard classroom pocket chart, but they can also be used on a table or the floor for flexible setup options.

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.

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!
