Missing Alphabet Puzzle to Solve – Movement and Learning

Do you need an quick activity to encourage movement and learning? Or perhaps an indoor recess idea or something for the last few minutes of a class period? This missing alphabet puzzle combines solving missing letters with a cryptogram with exercise! All on ONE piece of paper with zero preparation required. Woo-hoo – my kind of activity. You can download it for free at the bottom of the post. This puzzle is for children ages 6 and up or younger with help.

How to Complete the Missing Alphabet Puzzle

After you download the puzzle you can print it in color or black and white (it will be a little harder if you print it in black and white). The students will first have to determine what letters are missing from the alphabet that it is written in order from A to Z in capital letters.

After they see what letters are missing, they use the picture code to determine what letter to write on the dotted lines. Continue solving the mystery missing alphabet puzzle and write the letters on the lines.

Once you have determined each of the letters, read the mystery phrase.

Finish up the movement and learning activity, by completing the dance moves. The students can dance each letter to represent the mystery phrase.

When your students complete this activity, they are practicing the following skills:

  • letter identification

  • visual discrimination
