The game starts by having the students in 5 to 8 to make a long line in front of the alphabets islands. The teacher, then, asks the students to run and make a circle around the letter mentioned by the teacher, the loser is he/she who cannot join the circle or the slowest one. For modification, you may read a sentence explaining on thing with the first letter of the alphabets, and then ask them (the students) to spell the word.

Teacher = OK, great! Now I want A to spell the word MILK
A = It’s M-I-L-K
Teacher = Wow, superb! Great one for you
