An interactive webquest designed for kindergarteners.
Introduction:
Welcome boys and girls to an exciting, interactive webquest where you become the teacher! A teacher's job is very important, so... I hope you are up to the task.
Task:
You have a new student in your class. This student needs your help to learn the letters of the alphabet. As the teacher, your job is to work through the fun alphabet games in this webquest with your new student. Then, you must determine how well your new student does in learning to recognize the letters of the alphabet, match capital letters to lowercase letters, put the letters in ABC order, and learn the sound each letter makes.
Process:
Here are some great educational sites that will help your new student meet each goal listed above. The sites are in order so that the student will be progressively challenged as he/she moves through the activities.
1. First, let's get started with Elmo. Elmo wants to play Elmo's Keyboard-O-Rama with you. Click on the green button to begin the game. Just press any letter on the keyboard and Elmo will tell you the letter and something that begins with that letter. Be sure to tickle Elmo before you leave his game.
2. Now, it is time for some Alphabet Action. Click on the green arrow to see each letter in action.
3. Okay, since you are now an expert in identifying the letters of the alphabet, it is time to match capital letters to lowercase letters. Try your hand at working an Alphabet Letter Puzzle. As you match the capital and lowercase letters the computer will show you a piece of the puzzle. See how many puzzles you can work.
4. Next, we are off to Paw Park. There are some confused kangaroos at the park. They need to find their Mommy's and Daddy's. Match the capital and lowercase letters to help the kangaroo kids find their parents.

5. Now that you are letter experts, it is time to have some fun with Alphabetical Whack-a-Mole. This game is so much fun. Whack the moles on the head with the hammer but, be sure you whack them in ABC order. As you whack each mole, the letters will appear in a line at the top of the screen.
6. It is time to learn the sound that each letter makes. Big Bird wants to help with his game, Letters to Big Bird. Big Bird is going to check his mailbox for a letter. You must tell him the things he has that begin with that letter.
7. You are almost finished, but not before we take a trip to Disney.com. JoJo wants to play JoJo's Letter Sound Dash with you. She wants to race you the finish line by matching letters to the sound they make.
Evaluation:
A teacher's job is never done. Now, it is time to decide how well your new student did on this Alpha Quest. Please click here and use the rubric to score your new student.
Conclusion:
Congratulations on you first assignment as a teacher. You did a great job leading your new student through this exciting webquest. I know that your new student had a wonderful time playing these fun, interactive games and I am sure he/she learned a great deal. Letter recognition is an important skill. It is the first step to becoming a reader! I hope you enjoyed being a teacher for a short time. I also hope you will come back often to practice letter recognition and "teaching".
Teacher Notes:
This webquest is designed for kindergarten age children and will require a parent or teacher to guide them through.
