Alphabet Zip Line {101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet}

Today I am sharing super fun Alphabet Zip Line activity that combines letter learning, fine motor skills, physics, and fun!

Note: This alphabet activity, and many more, are included in my book, 101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet.

To make an alphabet zip line, you will need the following:

String
Printable Montessori Alphabet Tiles (or write your own letters on paper)
Paper clips

Begin by finding a place to hang your string. You will need a high location that is accessible to your kids to tie one end of the string, as well as a low location to tie the other end. We strung our zip line from the top of our stairs to the TV cabinet in our living room.

Place a pile of letters and paper clips near the high end of the string. You can either call out a letter for your child to find, or you can allow your child to select a letter of his or her choosing.

Have your child – with help, if needed – put the paper clip over the string and then attach a letter.
