As the player moves past each space, he or she says the letter on that space (For example, if you roll a 3, you move saying “A, B, C, and then stop on C).

(Note: You can do more letters if you want, but after some trial and error, we found that three was the right number for my three-year-old’s attention span…and mine.) Each player picks three alphabet letters of the same color.Once you’re satisfied with your sketched path, go over everything in marker.Make a “start” space and then divide the rest of the path into spaces for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet (I recommend doing this with pencil lightly at first to make sure that you have enough space for the whole alphabet). Write one letter of the alphabet in each box. It ended up being a long board (close to 3 ft), but it’s easy to fold in half or even thirds for storage. I used two brown pieces end-to-end for the trunk and cut my leaves out of three pieces of green paper folded in half to make 6 leaves total. Create a simple coconut tree out of construction paper and glue it together.You could even make these out of paper, too.) alphabet letters (we used our magnet letters…you just need to have at least 3 of the same color for each player.
If you want to create your own game, here’s what you’ll need: Little Man loved it! We’ve played it a bunch of times in the past few weeks. It came together really quickly and I actually just made up the rules as we played, so it’s super simple–kind of a mix between Candy Land & Trouble.
Needless to say, I’ve been a little desperate to add some variety to our game repertoire. So, when Little Man asked if we could study the rain forest as part of our home preschool, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to create a new literacy-practice board game for him…using the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! In the months since he got Candy Land, we have probably played it close to 300 times! No exaggeration. I didn’t know that until I bought him Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders for Christmas and unwittingly created a monster. This alphabet skills game is perfect for preschoolers and is a great extension activity to go along with the beloved book, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
