Alphabet and Number Flies

A set of alphabet (a-z) and number (0-100) flies for your classroom. Use them in any way you wish.

Suggestions for use include:
♦ Play ‘Swat the fly!’ - Put the flies on the floor, on a pin board, or hang them. Say a letter/number. Your students find the fly and swat it. (You will need to provide the fly swatter). This is great for letter/number recognition.
♦ Match the lower case letter with the capital letter.
♦ Put the flies in order.
♦ Find all of the odd/even flies, multiples of 3, numerals that add to 10, etc.
♦ Group all of the same colour flies together (colour recognition).
♦ Make a word using the alphabet flies.
♦ Make a math sum using the number flies (eg 5+2=7)

Included:
♦ Lower case letters– coloured
♦ Lower case letters – black/white
♦ Capital letters – coloured
♦ Capital letters – black/white
♦ Numbers 0-100 – coloured
♦ Numbers 0-100 – black/white
