Women’s Day

It’s the day to celebrate
It’s the day to think
For all that the world have done
To the charming colour pink

They blocked off her way
They chased her that day
They stormed all her life
Her blurred eyes did say

An unarmed woman
With self arrested courage
They pulled down her confidence
With their harsh and sharp image

They found her so helpless
They made her to cry
They turned her life to hell
And forced her to die

But let me say a word
A word full of hope
She made her way out
And learned how to cope

A woman, a mother, a wife
With patience she strives
Caring, bearing and working
Still struggling with life…

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
