Games on Words Starting with the Letter M

Fun Ways for Kids to Learn and Practice Alphabets

It is not easy to keep small kids engaged, so the best way to make them learn and practice is through interactive games with bright colors, shapes, animals, and themes.

• Reusable Sight-Word Sandbox: This is a box with reusable sand. The alphabet 'M' can be written on paper and stuck on the inside of the lid. The child has to follow the pattern and copy the alphabet on the sand. He/she can do this many times for continuous practice. This game can be played online or made offline and is perfect for kids in KG or 1st grade and helps them become a master in alphabet recognition.

• Alphabet Hopper: Help your child recognize the alphabet M by simply hopping onto it. On a screen scrolling alphabet cabbages, your child is the rabbit that needs to grab the M cabbage to feed itself. The correct recognition is rewarded with a loud and very cute burp! This online game helps in recognizing and identifying the letter and in the hand-eye coordination of the child.

• Alphabet Sighting Cookies: Cardboards cut out in various cookie shapes with simple words ( and maybe pictures) on them. Tell your child to pick up all the words that start with the letter M. The pictures will help them identify the words starting with M and the words' phonetics. Get this game through the SplashLearn ELA learning website.

• Memory Game: The age-old favorite memory game has always been a hit with kids - an educational game of matching the same alphabets or lowercase with uppercase alphabets. It works through kids from kindergarten to grade 1 or 2, varying in matching letters with words, etc.

• Tutu's Magic Show: The magic of learning comes from repetition. Watching this magic show online where Tutu the Magician swooshes out and disappears, the letter M, among other letters, can engrave the alphabet in the child's mind.

Your Involvement as a Parent

As a parent, we must teach our kids whatever we can, whenever we can. We don't always have to look at this as a huge task. Implement small games and activities in your daily routine to give you parent-child time together and allow them to learn by example. 

• Sing-Along: All the ELA games on SplashLearn come with background songs. We even have a music and rhymes section. Pick an alphabet song, like the animal alphabet song, to sing with your child when working in the kitchen together.

• Pointing Fingers: Whether walking after a long day or driving to the store, make a game of pointing out the letter M. Whoever sees and points at the maximum number of things beginning with the letter anywhere along the way wins an ice cream after dinner!

Whether you are homeschooling your child or helping them practice what is taught in school, your innovative ways develop children's interests.

The Takeaway

The word 'homework' is a word the child ordinarily isn't fond of. If the parents take time out to introduce the concept of alphabets and numbers and facts in the child's playtime or daily routine, they are compelled to learn more the fun way. SplashLearn makes it easy for parents to ideate and think of innovative ways and involves the child in a world of colors, tunes, concepts, and fantasies that appeal to their senses.
