Circle and Find: Have students practice reading environmental print. Use newspapers, junk mail, and/or sales flyers and have them highlight all of the letter Xx’s using a highlighter.
The "X" Box: Decorate a box with the letter "X". Inside the box place items or pictures of items that begin with the letter "X". This also works well if you use pictures, and have each child in turn draw out one picture and tell it's name and what they would do with it.
Acrobatic "X": Divide the children into groups of threes. Have the children in each group lie on the floor and use their bodies to form the letter "X". Let the children in each group trade places and form the letter "X" again, so each child gets a turn at being a different part of the "X".
