What is the ocean?

Visit the ocean theme for related printable lesson plans, activities and crafts.

Alphabet Activities:

Discuss the elements and colors in the poster. The round image represents letter O, the center displays ocean waves in different shades of blue, a sandy beige shoreline, and ocean creatures: a sea snail shell, a starfish and an oyster with a pearl.

Children Age 3 and under:

Print a letter O coloring page font and select and print an ocean theme coloring page behind it or on a separate page if using paints to decorate later. Discuss other letter O words found on the worksheet.

Finger Tracing: Trace letter O's in upper and lower case with your finger as you also sound out the letter. Invite the children to do the same on their coloring page.

Children can trace and color the letter O's. After completing coloring the letter, encourage children to color the ocean theme image. Write the word ocean on the finished coloring page.

Handwriting worksheet tips:

Encourage the children to trace the dotted letter, and explain the direction of the arrows and numbers that help them trace the letter correctly.

During the demonstration, you may want to count out loud as you trace so children become aware of how the number order aids them in the writing process.

Have the children find all the letter O's in upper and lower case on the page and encourage them to circle them.

Children ages 3+:

Letter O words: Letter O Worksheet Program and Mini-Book (long o sound) can be used as part of program of activities to reinforce letter practice and to identify related words. Read suggested instructions for using the worksheet and mini-book.

You can also display letter posters and coloring pages or make a letter A home or classroom book. For related images visit: Letter O Printable Activities.

Letter O Word Search & Handwriting Practice (short O sound): A four word search game features an ocean image and letter O words with pictures and handwriting practice.

Advanced independent handwriting practice:

1. Print your choice of printable lined-paper and encourage children to draw and color an ocean behind the page or print an ocean theme coloring page.

2. Drawing and writing paper: engage children in making an original drawing of an ocean scene and practice writing letter O in upper and lower case independently.
