PLAYFUL PIN THE HORN ON THE UNICORN

Pin the Horn on the Unicorn 

Pin the Horn on the Unicorn is an alphabet activity resource that helps preschoolers and kindergarteners practice letter recognition while having lots of fun and giggles!

Pin the Horn on the Unicorn printable is a fun take on the game “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”!  But it uses a picture of a unicorn head and 13 pages of colorful glitter unicorn horns.  There are 26 unicorn horns labeled with capital letters, and 26 unicorn horns labeled with lowercase letters.

This is a hands-on alphabet activity that helps practice letter recognition.

The unicorn horns are made to look like they are covered in glitter. Your children will love using these the glittery, colorful horns, especially on National Unicorn Day!

WHO IS THIS FOR:

• Preschool and Kindergarten or students who need practice on letter recognition

INCLUDES:

• 14 pages plus 1 page of directions
• 1 Unicorn head picture
• 26 glitter horns with capital letters
• 26 glitter horns with lowercase letters
• 1 page with directions on 3 different ways to use this resource

FEATURES:

• Bright and colorful with high-quality clipart
• Easy-to-read fonts
• Detailed directions
• 3 different versions on how to use this activity

Options for how to use Pin the Horn on the Unicorn:

• Matching capital letter horns to the corresponding lowercase letter horns
• Pin the Horn on the Unicorn games – One version could be you tell the student which letter to pick to put on the unicorn’s head. Another version could be the child picks a letter blindly then says the letter name out loud.
• Use for National Unicorn Day activities or with books about unicorns.
• I like to do fun things with the  unicorns and rainbows theme  in the summer.
• There are so many cool hands-on activities and science experiments for the PreK-1st grade age that are colorful and messy that can be done outside.

DIRECTIONS:

* Print out horns on regular printer paper.

* Cut out each piece and laminate. You can cut each horn out or cut out as cards. Both ways work perfectly with the unicorn head! You may want to leave on cards to do other matching alphabet activities.

* Print out unicorn head and laminate.  Laminating your resources will help them last longer.  You can use them over and over and also with multiple children.

* One option is to use velcro dots on backs of horns so that the student can easily attach the horn to the unicorn head.

* If you are doing the blind “Pin the Horn on the Unicorn” game, then use regular tape or Mauvalus tape (doesn’t stick to painted walls) on the backs of the horns.  Or you can have your child hold the unicorn horn against the wall or door until you uncover his eyes so he can look.  Then you wouldn’t need any tape at all.
