Context

Hello, kids! Did you know that the alphabet is like a big puzzle, where each letter has a special place? That's right, it is the basis of everything we write and read. Without it, the world of words would be quite confusing, right? In the alphabet, each letter has a name and a sound, and it is the combination of these letters that forms words.

In our language, Portuguese, our alphabet has 26 letters. And you must be wondering: 'Why do we need so many letters?'. It is to be able to represent all the sounds that exist in our language. Each letter has its own way of being, and when we put several of them together, they form words, sentences, paragraphs, texts... And did you know that you are reading and writing using the alphabet? It's very cool, isn't it?

Now, you must be asking yourself: 'How can I learn all these letters?'. Don't worry, we will help you! A very fun way to learn the alphabet is to play with it. How about joining in groups and creating your own alphabet? Sounds fun, right? In this project, we will explore the letters, their names and sounds, and also discover how they are used to write words. Ready for the alphabet adventure? Let's go!

Practical Activity: Creating Our Alphabet

Project Objective

The objective of this project is for you to explore the alphabet, learn the name and sound of each letter, as well as understand how they are used to form words. In addition, you will exercise skills such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and creativity.

Project Description

Each group will create their own alphabet, using cardboards, colored pencils, markers, magazines (for cutting and pasting), and everything your imagination allows. You will draw or paste pictures that start with each letter of the alphabet. For example, for the letter 'A', you can draw an apple or cut out an image from a magazine.

Required Materials

1. Cardboards
2. Colored pencils
3. Markers
4. Scissors (with adult supervision)
5. Glue
6. Magazines (for cutting and pasting)
7. Dictionary (optional, to help find words that start with each letter of the alphabet)

Step by Step

1. Divide the tasks among the group members. Who will draw? Who will cut and paste? Remember, teamwork is very important!

2. Start with 'A'. Think of words that start with this letter and draw or cut out pictures that represent those words. Paste the picture on the cardboard.

3. Repeat the process for the other letters of the alphabet. Remember to think of words that start with each letter.

4. When you finish all the letters, review the alphabet you created. Make sure all the letters are present and in the correct order.

5. There you go! Now you have your own alphabet. How about using it to play and form words?

Delivery Format

Each group should present their alphabet to the class, explaining the creation process and the words chosen for each letter. You can also play with your classmates, forming words with the alphabet. Oh, and don't forget to have fun throughout the whole process!
