This is a dictionary "scavenger hunt," a simple activity for children who are starting to be familiar with the alphabet and the sounds the letters make.

The students will do their work at a computer (or in small groups of 2 to 3 students at a computer). The teacher asks the students to find some familiar things in the dictionary. For example, the teacher may ask the students to find wild animals that start with "E," dinosaurs that start with "T," colors that start with "B," or words that start with the "sh" sound.

To do the activity, the students must go to the right page in the dictionary by clicking on the right letter at the top of the Little Explorers page. They will then look at the pictures on the page to answer the question.

Depending on the level of the students, you can have them tell you the answers out loud (after raising their hand), or have them write the answers down, copying the words from the dictionary. If you like, you can keep score of which person (or group) finds the most answers.
