This Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Game turns alphabet learning into an interactive guessing game that builds strong letter recognition skills during circle time, small groups, and literacy centers.

With colorful paint jar alphabet cards and hidden paintbrush surprises, students stay engaged while actively recognizing uppercase letters and recognizing lowercase letters in a fun, meaningful way.

Instead of passively pointing to letters, children scan the alphabet, make predictions, say letter names out loud, and check their guesses. This hands-on approach supports early learners who are just beginning to recognize letters as well as students who need extra practice with uppercase and lowercase letter recognition.

Designed to grow with your students, this alphabet game easily adapts for different ability levels and learning environments while keeping letter recognition playful and engaging.

Whether you’re using it for circle time, literacy centers, small group instruction, or therapy sessions, this activity builds strong alphabet skills without feeling like drill and practice.

The Painting 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 in color for recognizing uppercase letters

✨ Lowercase alphabet cards in color for recognizing lowercase letters

✨ Uppercase alphabet cards in black and white

✨ Lowercase alphabet cards in black and white

✨ Paintbrush hiding cards to place behind the alphabet paint jars

✨ Differentiated recording pages for uppercase and lowercase letter recognition

✨ Simple teacher instructions with easy prep and play tips

All alphabet cards are designed to fit inside a standard classroom pocket chart, making this activity perfect for whole-group circle time or center-based alphabet practice.

How to Play the Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Game:

Place selected alphabet cards into a pocket chart, on a table, or on the floor so all letters are visible.
Choose how many letters to use based on your students’ letter recognition level. Start with 3–5 letters for beginners and increase as confidence grows.
Have one student hide 3–5 paintbrush cards behind the alphabet paint jars while others close their eyes.
Students take turns guessing which letters are hiding the paintbrushes, saying the letter name out loud as they guess.
Reveal the card after each guess and confirm whether the letter matches.
Use the optional recording pages to cross off guessed letters and write the correct uppercase or lowercase letters below.

This setup supports both early alphabet learners and students refining uppercase and lowercase recognition.

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!
