Duplo Puzzles Spelling Activity for Pre-k and Kindergarten

Early learners will have fun practicing building words with dublo blocks with this fun, hands-on spelling activity. Make Duplo Spelling Puzzles to learn letters and spelling as well as learn how to read simple 3-4 letter words. This is a super quick to set-up preschool spelling or spelling games for kindergarten. This lego spelling activity works with any spelling word list and any type of brick blocks you have on hand!

Spelling Activity

Spelling takes some time to learn. At first, the child must familiarize with, memorize and learn each letter of the alphabet and its sound. Only then they’re able to blend two letters together, then three and so on. But this takes time and can be a large task to achieve for our ever-wandering, energy-filled preschoolers!

These Duplo Spelling Puzzles bring the fun back into learning! Along with learning to recognize each letter and spell simple words, kids are also exercising many important develomental skills. Cognitive Skills are used to analyze the words on the cards and letters on the Duplo pieces, think, compare and match. Fine Motor Skills are improved when kids pick up each duplo piece and put them together. And lastly Hand-eye Coordination, as the child has to match up the Duplo pieces together perfectly to be able to connect them.

 

Duplo Spelling Puzzles

To set-up this activity you’ll need:

• Duplo pieces
• Dry erase marker
• Permanent marker
• Index cards
• Scissors

Preschool Spelling

Start by cutting the index cards horizontally into thirds, this way you’ll have smaller vertical index cards (you can use whole index cards as well). Write simple 2-4 letter words vertically on each card, as many as you’d like.

Next, using the dry erase marker write every letter of every word you’ve come up with on its own seperate single Duplo piece. Be careful to hold the blocks by the sides not to erase the letters.

Spelling Practice

For this last step, shuffle the Duplo pieces so they are all mixed between each other.

Spelling Games for Kids

Prep is done! Now, one at a time, lay out an index card with a word for the child to see. Have the child find and match up the correct letters and connect the Duplo pieces together to make a word. Once a word puzzle is completed, move it to the side and do a new word puzzle.

Kids are sure to stay busy, focused and fully engaged while learning many important skills with these Duplo Spelling Puzzles!
