Both Star Wars and LEGO are popular with kids. I decided created some awesome Star Wars ABC Games that feature light sabers made of LEGO. Pictures were taken of the light saber LEGO creations so that could be used build alphabet letters. You will want to printout these LEGO light sabers to play the games with your children.
The LEGO light saber printout contains a set large light sabers and a set of small light sabers that can be used for building letters. Some letters may need a combination of larger and small light sabers.
Here are some of the ABC Games You Can Play
Call It and Build It
Two players can take turns calling out a letter and building it. You will need to decide at the beginning of the game as to whether you will be building uppercase or lowercase letters. Actually, you could have players build both if you like. It is just a good idea to decide ahead of time what kinds of letters you will be building. The goal of this game is create the correct formation for each letter.
Alphabetical Order
Rather than randomly calling out letters. Players could have to build the letters in alphabetical order. They can alternate as to who is building a letter. If they need to sing the ABC song to remember what letter comes next, that would fine. Singing the alphabet is a great way to work on letters.
Build the Letters in Your Name
Children can work on building uppercase and lowercase letters as they spell their names. They can work on spelling one letter at a time and then clearing the workspace. If they have short name, they can try building their whole name on the workspace.
Build the Next Letter
This is one of those ABC games that needs two players. One player calls out a letter and the other player has to build the next letter in the alphabet. If your children are just learning the letters of the alphabet, you may want to have an alphabet chart out that they can refer to if they need to.
