Act Out the Alphabet by Jack Hartmann is a fun, kinesthetic letter sounds song. Its one of my favorites because it engages children in creative active movement. Jack Hartmann clearly and accurately says each letter sound and a word that begins with that letter to act out.

Act Out the Alphabet aligns with the Common Core standard for Phonics, (ccss.ela-literacy.RF.K.3a). Demonstrating basic knowledge of one-to-one letter sound correspondences.

This letter sounds song is also excellent for basic alphabet recognition. As I say each letter we clearly show the upper and lower case letter for children to see. I demonstrate the motion for the action words so children can see how to move.

Your children will love singing and moving to this letter sounds song daily; helping them learn their letter sounds.

Teachers tell me its one of their favorites for developing phonological awareness and working on phonics skills.

Lyrics:

Act Out The Alphabet

Move your body like a monster

Chomp your arms like a shark

Pump it up like a body builder

Take a bow like you’re a star

Here’s your chance to be an actor

Do your best

Act out the alphabet!

A says a a alligator, alligator

B says b b bounce, bounce

C says c c cold, cold

D says d d dive, dive

E says e e exercise, exercise

F says f f fishing, fishing

G says g g gooey, gooey

H says h h hula, hula

Act out more words

I says i i insect, insect

J says j j jiggle, jiggle

K says k k karate, karate

L says l l laugh, laugh

M says m m march, march

N says n n nod, nod

O says o o opera, opera

P says p p pull, pull

Let’s have more fun

Q says q q quiet, quiet

R says r r run, run

S says s s surf, surf

T says t t tickle, tickle

U says u u under, under

V says v v vibrate, vibrate

W says w w wag, wag

X says x x like in box, like in box

Y says y y yawn, yawn

Z says z z zig-zag, zig-zag

Today we’ve had some fun acting - you did your best to act out the alphabet!
