If you are looking for a hands-on letter recognition activity that actually keeps kids engaged, this Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Game is a classroom favorite for a reason.

This Valentine-themed alphabet recognition literacy game turns uppercase and lowercase letter practice into an interactive guessing game.

Students search for hidden Valentine cards tucked behind alphabet cards while saying letter names out loud, tracking guesses, and building confidence with letters they already know.

It works beautifully during circle time, small groups, and literacy centers, and it is easy to adapt for beginning learners, ELL students, and kids who need extra repetition with uppercase letters and lowercase letters.

The Valentine's Day 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

This alphabet literacy game includes everything you need for repeated, low-prep letter recognition practice:

Uppercase alphabet cards in color
Lowercase alphabet cards in color
Uppercase alphabet cards in black and white
Lowercase alphabet cards in black and white
Valentine-themed hiding cards to place behind letters
Differentiated recording pages for uppercase letters
Differentiated recording pages for lowercase letters
Simple teacher instructions with setup and play tips

All alphabet cards are sized to fit a standard classroom pocket chart, making this an easy grab-and-go literacy center activity. The cards can also be used on a table or floor for flexible small group instruction.

Skills Students Practice While Playing

This alphabet recognition game supports multiple early literacy skills at the same time.

Primary Literacy Skills:

Letter recognition for uppercase and lowercase letters
Alphabet recognition and letter naming
Visual discrimination between similar letters
Letter memory and recall during gameplay
Early handwriting practice using recording pages

Supporting Learning Skills:

Turn-taking and cooperative play
Attention and focus during guessing rounds
Confidence with familiar letters before introducing new ones
Fine motor skills from flipping cards and writing letters

How to Play the Alphabet Hide & Seek Literacy Game

Place selected uppercase or lowercase alphabet cards into a pocket chart, on the floor, or on a table.
Have one student close their eyes while another hides 1–8 Valentine cards behind the letters.
Students take turns guessing which letter is hiding a card and say the letter name out loud.
Reveal the card to check the guess.
Use the recording pages to cross off guessed letters and write the correct letters found.

For beginners, start with just 3–5 letters. As students grow more confident with letter recognition, increase the number of alphabet cards to provide more challenge.

Literacy centers
Small group reading instruction
Circle time alphabet games
Homeschool letter practice
Speech therapy sessions
Assessment warm-ups
Early finisher activities
Rainy day or indoor recess literacy fun

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!
