The recent Pokemon GO craze brings back nostalgic memories from my childhood. I'm not ashamed to admit that I play this game and love it more than my kids do. Granted, they're still very young (now 5 & 3), but they do enjoy catching the Pokemon monsters with me. However, I thought it would be a good idea if my kids had a more age-appropriate Pokemon game to play, so of course I had to create an alphabet game.

This FREE Pokemon inspired ABC game is great for letter recognition and letter case matching. It comes with both upper case and lower case letters, so children can match either upper to upper, lower to lower, or upper to lower cases!


I recommend laminating the sheets and using velcro dots to stick the pieces, but it can also be done as a cut & paste activity. 


Kids will love "catching" the Pokemon with the Pokeballs while practicing their letters
