ALFY Alphabet Hunt (K-2)
Go on an ALFY Alphabet Hunt. Give kids one letter at a time and have a contest to see who can find the most icons on ALFY that begin with that letter. For example, start with "A" and have students search for and sketch every "A" icon they can find (airplane, apple, anteater, etc). Kids can also work in teams.
