If you have gum, for the letter g, here is a song about gumballs.
 
 tune:  Muffin Man
 
 Oh do you know the gumball man, the gumball man, the gumball man,
 Oh do you know the gumball man, he comes just once a week.
 When we put our nickels in the slot, our nickels in the slot, our nickels
 in the slot,
 This is what we got.
 _______________ and _______________ (children's names) both got red
 ______________  and ________________ both got red, but ________ got blue.
 Maybe someday we'll be lucky, and instead of one gumball we'll get two.
 
* Also when studying any letters or numbers you can make numeral or letter
 bread:
 
 Roll bread dough into a snake, make the number or letter you like. 
 Decorate with chocolate chips, raisins, etc.  Bake for 10-15 minutes at
 350.

* G- glue on gum wrappers
 
 G- glue on grass the kids collect themselves
 
 G- eat some grapes. then use halves of grapes to stamp all over the "G", 
 alternatively, make fingerpainted grapes all over the "G"
 
 G- get some gold stickers to put on the "G".
 
 G- they kids use glue to make desgins on the letter, then finish with 
 glitter!
 
 G- give each child a small box (jello box size is good). give them some 
 wrapping paper and tape.  watch them try their best to wrap up the Gift- 
 but be sure to put something they made inside first!!!  On the card- 
 whatelse? "G"! 

 For the letter G, I know this sounds crazy but I couldn't think of anything
 else:  glue on gummy bears or maybe even gum wrappers (you'd have to chew
 alot of gum though!)

 "G"- grass, gravel, gauze, garland, & of course: glue!

 Letter "G"
 
 Make a "G" Garden
 cut out Grass and make a bunch of letter g's.  Attach leaves and stems to
the letter g's and glue them in the Grass...
 
 Globe:  Show the kids a globe and let them find where they live.
 
 Gold:  Make the letter "g" on a piece of construction paper and glue on Gold
glitter to make a golden g.
 
 Snack: Graham Cracker treat
             Spread peanut butter on cracker and arrange marshmellows in the
shape of the letter "G" on the top.  Broil fora  few minutes until
marshmellows are golden and then arrange raisins on the top of the melted
marshmellow..
 
 Colors- Gray and Green
 
 Gum- let each child chew a piece of gum!

  On the letter G,
you can have the children glue glitter.  My kids love working with glitter.
 I just put their piece of paper in a pie tin or a flat box and let them
sprinkle away!  For V they can glue on small craps of velvet, and for W they
can glue on pieces of wallpaper.  Sometimes wallpaper stores will give you
their old sample books if you ask.  I had a friend give me a couple about 8
years ago, and I'm still using them!  The book Alphabet Theme-a-saurus, by
Jean Warren (a Totline book), has lots of great ideas of things to do for
each letter.  They also recommend things to glue on the letters, one for each
letter of the alphabet.

*  Out line a G in Glitter or something else that starts with G
