ABC Order Train

• Kindergarten–2nd grade
• Ages 5–8
• Free, no sign-up

The train can't leave until its cars are loaded in ABC order. Your child taps the letter that comes first, then the next, until every car is full and the train chugs away. Later levels put whole words in order by their first letter, and then by their second letter.

About the game

How to play

1. Look at the letters. They are mixed up on the platform.
2. Tap the first one. Which comes first in the alphabet? It hops into the first car.
3. Keep going. Fill every car in ABC order. A wrong tap wiggles and gives a hint.
4. Load 8 trains. One mistake or fewer earns three stars.

For parents: what ABC Order Train practices

ABC Order Train builds alphabet knowledge and alphabetical order, the skill kids need to use a dictionary, an index or a class list. It pairs with:

• Alphabetical order
• ABC order worksheets
• Letter sounds A to Z

Common Core: RF.K.1d (name all letters), L.1.2 and L.2.2 (spelling conventions); alphabetical order to the first and second letter.

Getting the most out of it

• Sing the alphabet song quietly to find which letter comes first.
• For words, cover everything but the first letter.
• If the first letters match, look at the second letter.

Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
