This dinosaur alphabet hide and seek game turns everyday letter recognition practice into an exciting prehistoric guessing game that kids cannot get enough of.

Students search for hidden dinosaurs tucked behind alphabet eggs as they guess, reveal, and record letters during this interactive alphabet pocket chart game.

As children play, they strengthen uppercase letter recognition and lowercase letter recognition skills through repetition, movement, and purposeful talk, all without it feeling like “work.”

Perfect for preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten classrooms, this alphabet hide and seek game keeps learners engaged while delivering meaningful literacy practice.

It works beautifully for circle time, small groups, literacy centers, early finishers, and speech therapy sessions.

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

Dinosaur Alphabet Hide & Seek Game for Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Recognition

This dinosaur-themed alphabet game is designed to support both uppercase and lowercase letter recognition in a playful, low-pressure format that works for a wide range of learners.

Students practice identifying letters, naming letters aloud, and visually discriminating between similar letters as they hunt for hidden dinosaurs behind alphabet eggs.

Because you control how many letters are used at a time, this letter recognition activity easily adapts for beginners who are just starting with the alphabet and for students ready to work with more letters or the full alphabet.

The combination of guessing, movement, repetition, and excitement makes this alphabet hide and seek pocket chart game especially effective for hands-on learners who need active engagement to stay focused.

Alphabet and Letter Recognition Skills Practiced with This Dinosaur Game

This dinosaur alphabet hide and seek game targets essential early literacy skills by combining movement, play, and repetition in a way that makes letter recognition stick. Instead of drilling letters on worksheets, students actively engage with the alphabet while searching for dinosaurs and verbally identifying letters.

Primary Alphabet and Letter Recognition Skills:

Alphabet knowledge
Uppercase letter recognition
Lowercase letter recognition
Letter naming and oral language development
Visual discrimination between similar letters
Handwriting practice using recording pages

These focused alphabet skills help students build a strong foundation for reading readiness while keeping learning playful, interactive, and developmentally appropriate.

Additional Learning Skills:

Turn-taking and cooperative play
Memory and problem-solving
Fine motor skills through flipping cards and writing
Confidence and independence during literacy activities

These extra layers of learning make this alphabet hide and seek game especially valuable for young learners who benefit from hands-on practice, social interaction, and confidence-building success.

How to Play This Dinosaur Alphabet Hide & Seek Pocket Chart Game

This dinosaur-themed alphabet game is intentionally simple to set up and play, making it easy to use during busy classroom days while still delivering high-impact letter recognition practice.

Place the alphabet egg cards into a pocket chart, on a table, or on the floor so all letters are visible.
Choose how many letters to use. Start with 3 to 5 letters for early learners and increase as students gain confidence.
Have one student hide 1 to 8 dinosaur cards behind the alphabet eggs while others close their eyes.
Students take turns guessing which letters are hiding the dinosaurs. Encourage them to say the letter name with each guess.
Reveal the card after each guess to check for the dinosaur.
Use the recording pages to cross off guessed letters and write the correct letters in the boxes below.

This predictable structure allows students to focus on alphabet recognition, builds excitement with each round, and makes the activity easy to repeat throughout the week with minimal prep.

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!
