I think matching game is a very good way to drill.
I usually used to use matching game after my lessons.
It's very simple and easy,
so students can join it together even if they have different language levels.

I like matching game!!~
As you know, I have just wrote as many as possible while I have studied Alphabet long time ago,
but it is so tiring and boring.
I guess it is a good way to use a matching game. it brings lots of fun.

While I was focusing on intermediate students, I neglected beginers' learning process.
But your ideas made me realize the importances of learning alphabets as well as doing activities. I'll study more about activities based on alphabets, resorting to your ideas.
Thanks~

Alphabet is the very basic thing to learn English. As we all know, we studied alphabet by reading and writing only when we first started to learn it. I think beginning is the most important thing to learn something. Your students can learn from you with a lot of interest and it can make them to enjoy learning as well as to remember it for a long time. ^^

I absolutely agree with the topic reviews~ It is too important to learn English with lots of interests for any level. Also Matching game is the good example to learn English. It is amazing my daughter is pretty good at matching game in her English class. I am sure your lesson brings lots of fun for learners.

You chose a good book. "Me! Me! ABC" is a simple and clear book about the alphabets and verb.
You planned many activities and I think it helps chidren to underand and memorize your lesson.
Repeating the alphabets with different ways like worksheet, game, mini book will be the best plans for your odjectives. ^^ I want to see your dance

I have some interest in alphabet teaching in your lesson.
Actually, I wil have phonics class in my school.
The children are 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students in elementary school.
