This fall alphabet hide and seek pocket chart game turns everyday letter recognition practice into an engaging, hands-on guessing game that preschool and kindergarten students cannot get enough of.

Students search for hidden hedgehogs tucked behind colorful fall leaves 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 through repetition, movement, and purposeful talk, all without it feeling like “work.”

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

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

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

Fall Leaves Alphabet Hide & Seek Game for Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Recognition

This fall leaves 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 hedgehogs behind leaf cards.

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 who are ready to work with more letters or even 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 Fall Game

This fall alphabet hide and seek game targets essential early literacy skills by combining movement, play, and repetition in a way that helps letter recognition stick.

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 foundational alphabet skills support early reading readiness while keeping learning fun, interactive, and developmentally appropriate.

Additional Learning Skills

Turn-taking and cooperative play

These extra layers of learning make this alphabet pocket chart game especially valuable for young learners who benefit from hands-on practice and structured success.

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

This fall-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 leaf 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 hedgehog cards behind the leaf cards while others close their eyes.
Students take turns guessing which letters are hiding the hedgehogs. Encourage them to say the letter name with each guess.
Reveal the card after each guess to check for the hedgehog.
Use the recording pages to cross off guessed letters and write the correct letters in the boxes below.

This predictable routine builds confidence, keeps engagement high, 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.

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!
