15+ Alliteration Activities to Enjoy with Your Kids

We have all read about alliteration in our English classes. Writers and poets use this figure of speech to bring rhythm and add a different meaning to their works. It can be defined as “the occurrence of the same sound or letter at the beginning of adjacent words ‘. 

If you want to familiarize your little ones with the concept of figurative language, you must start with alliteration because it’s the simplest and most fun to do. 

The basic strategy is- repeat, repeat, repeat! I tried adding this grammar skill to my kids’ playtime and activities so that they could learn it while having fun instead of jamming up pages of a book. 📕 

In this article, I present to you some top-notch alliteration activities you can try out with your little ones. I found them super useful. Let’s start learning together!👇

Interesting Alliteration Activities for Kids

To begin with, you can ask the kid to listen to alliterative song recordings and then clap to the beats.

Pro Tip: Make sure they have gloves on while listening so that the sound effect is a bit muffled.

Alliteration task cards are the best addition to your kids’ playtime. They will have fun while learning something so important.

Let them form their own sentences using the quirky prompts on the cards. Some of these will be so silly and interesting to read!🤪
