Free Printable Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Letters

Free Printable Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Letters – Bill Martin Jr. has so many wonderful books and it was so hard to pick just one for this month’s VCB for Kids! But, after reading almost all of them, Chica Chica Boom Boom remains our favorite and the one that calls out to me, “Read! Read me!” So, I had to pick it up. I decided to go a little different with the book. Instead of coming up with a craft like I’d done before, I used the book as inspiration for a card game that could be played in a number of ways. I had a lot of fun recreating the images from the book. And I am proud of the end result.🙂

The first step is to prepare the cards for the game. The image below shows the front and back of the cards. To make a card, print out the templates below (just click on the image to download) and glue them back to back. I find it’s best to trim the edges on each page and glue them together (back to back). Repeat with the second set of alphabet cards (not shown). Cut along the lines and let dry. You now have a complete set of cards.

Laminate or cover card with contact paper for durability. Try hanging it on the fridge with magnetic tape on the back.

The second piece that needs to be assembled is the tree playing mat. Again, click on the image above to download, print and glue the two pieces together as shown below.

As I said before, there are many ways to use these cards. Here are some ways we tried.

Note: For some of these activities, you may want to have another set of cards ready.

Use the cards to practice recognizing and naming the letters of the alphabet. Cards can be placed face up and turned over or picked from the pile. Letter sounds can also be practiced this way. Use letter cards to practice putting letters in alphabetical order.

Use letter cards to sort vowels and consonants. For more information on how to do this, see our post: Teaching children vowels and consonants

Sort the letters according to their characteristics. In the photo below, the letters are sorted by ascendant and descendent.

Use the cards to create word families with different short vowel sounds. Try changing only the first letter of a word to make other words. Try changing the last letter of the word as well.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom has become the funnest alphabet book ever. The rhythmic rhythm of the language, the colorful cut-outs of Lois Ehlert and the letters that have a life of their own all contribute to its brilliance.

Plot. All the lowercase letters of the alphabet decide to climb the coconut tree. Will there be enough space? They all collapse when the toes are stubbed, the eyes turn black, and the skin falls off the knees.
