- 1pencil
The Goal
Find every letter from A to Z on signs as you drive. First to Z wins.
How to start
- 1
Gather what you need: pencil. Nothing else required.
- 2
Head indoors and see how many you can find: A, B, C, D.
- 3
Talk about what you are seeing. Start with "Which letter held everyone up the longest?"
- 4
Print the worksheet to check things off as you find them, and keep it afterwards.
Track Your Letters
Cross off each letter as you find it, and write down where you spotted the hardest one.
Q and Z are the rarest letters on road signs, which is why most families agree to allow license plates once they get stuck.
If you want to push it further
- Call out the letter and the sign before anyone else claims it, one claim per sign
- Get through the whole alphabet without using a single license plate
Print it and go
The worksheet has the checklist, the prompts, and a space to draw in. One page, ready for a bag or a glovebox.
