Letter Salad

One of my favorite alphabet resources is Letter Salad!



Letter Salad is a fun sensory experience for students to look for specific letters, match uppercase & lowercase, and record their findings.  Students will love learning with Letter Salad and will ask to make salad over and over!

Here's a list of what you need for setting up Letter Salad in your classroom: 
  • large bowl or plastic storage tub
  • green crepe paper or green tissue paper (torn into pieces) or green Easter grass for your "lettuce".  You can also use a combination of light green and dark green papers for a mixed green salad!
  • pair of tongs
  • small plastic bowls
  • Letter Salad cards and recording sheet

Letter Salad Cards coming soon!

You choose how many letter cards to put in your large salad bowl.  I typically have students working on matching 4 to 6 sets of letters at a time but your kids may need more or less depending on their skill level. Letter Salad is very easy to differentiate for your students.

For beginning learners, you could simply put in a few of the uppercase letter cards.  Have the student name the letter as they use the tongs to add each letter card to their salad bowl.

Use the recording sheet as a way for students to practice writing their letters.



I hope your students enjoy learning the alphabet and making Letter Salad!
