Cost: less than five dollars for flashcards, or free is you make you own on the computer and hang them up.
Variation: For older kids you could say a word and they would have to shine the light on the letter it starts with. Or you could shine the light on a letter and they have to say a word that starts with that letter. You could get really tricky and say, What is the third letter in penguin??? Also, we sometimes take the flashlight around the house and do a bit of a scavenger hunt. Where's your toothbrush? Where is the refrigerator? Where is the front door? Where is the baby?

I love word walls! I have one here in my classroom and we always play a variation of your flashlight game...only without a flashlight. It starts with "I'm thinking of the letter that starts the word asparagus" or something like that. Then we add the picture of the asparagus under the letter 'a'...Its a blast, even my bigger kids like it. I love all of the ideas I have read in your blog...I will read more later! Jessica
