5 Target Letter & Math Tile Activities You HAVE to Try

1. Letter Puzzles

Letter puzzles are THE MOST simple center activity you’ll ever prep– and your kids will love it! …win, win!

You just empty the bag out and your little learners get to work finding and connecting uppercase and lowercase letters. 

This hands-on and interactive activity provides the perfect opportunity for little ones to learn through play. They practice fine motor skills while learning to identify and differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters. 

2. Letter Tile Mats

Pair your letter tiles with these Tile ABC Match-Up Mats and Task Cards to fill your literacy centers with fun!

Rest assured that little ones are practicing identifying and matching numbers 1-10 while having such a great time.

PS: Use a permanent marker to write in the number 10 tile since the pack comes with 0-9. 

4. Tiles Dice

Turn your Target tiles into dice for loads more fun!

Once you’ve configured several dice, little learners practice letter recognition and writing, number identification, writing, counting, shape identification and drawing– to name a few of the endless options. 

Grab these double-sided mini white boards from @lakeshorelearning too and let your kids get to work! There’s truly so much they can do with these tile dice!

Since you will be building the dice for your Pre-K classroom (at least at first!), you can easily choose which letter, number, or shape you want each student or small group to work on and change them out frequently. 

This activity is perfect for reaching all leveled learners since you can easily differentiate and individualize the work for each little mind you teach.

See this in action here on IG. 

EXTRA TIP: Let your students practice building their own cubes. This is great hands-on learning for a shapes unit with your math curriculum!

5. Tile Sensory Bin

Make a letter match-up activity by creating an easy sensory bin using your Target letter and math tiles. Reuse your ABC Letter Tile Mat and Number Tile Mat to work on matching, letter identification, and number identification as little ones hunt for hidden tiles.

Little ones also improve visual discrimination skills as they examine differences in the tiles during play.

These shallow bins are my favorite for all things sensory bins. They’re the perfect size, colorful, easy to clean, and lightweight for little hands!

Use any filler you’d like to create this sensory bin— pom-poms, uncooked rice or beans, shredded paper, uncooked pasta, water beads, or even sand (if you want to live life on the edge!). Sensory bins always add to the fun-factor in learning for little minds. 

Don’t be afraid to take this extra step to make skill practice more interesting and memorable!
