Let’s Learn About the Letter X!

Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about the letter X. Are you ready to meet the letter X? Let’s go!

The Sound of X

The letter X makes a special sound. Can you say it with me? Let’s try together! Great job! The sound of X is like a little kiss sound. Isn’t that fun?

Writing the Letter X

Now, let’s learn how to write the letter X. It’s super easy! First, we make a line going down like this. Then, we make another line going down the other way. Look, it makes an X! It looks like an hourglass.

Writing a Small X

To write a small X, we make a little curve almost like a circle, and then another curve the other way. It looks like a half-eaten apple! You can try it at home with a pencil and paper. It’s fun to practice!

Words with the Letter X

Let’s find some words that have the letter X. Do you know what a xylophone is? It’s a musical instrument that makes pretty sounds. The word “taxi” also has an X. Have you ever seen a taxi? It’s a car that takes people places.

There’s also a dinosaur called T-Rex. It has an X too! Dinosaurs lived a long, long time ago. And guess what? X-ray starts with X. X-rays help doctors see inside our bodies to check our bones. Isn’t that amazing?

Sing and Dance with X

Now that we’ve learned so much about the letter X, let’s sing a song! Imagine a T-Rex named Max who wants to play but has short arms. It’s so funny! Let’s clap and dance along!

You’ve done a great job learning about the letter X today. There are many more letters to discover, so keep exploring and having fun!

  • Can you think of any other words that have the letter X in them? Maybe you can find some around your house or in your favorite storybook!
  • Have you ever seen or used something that starts with the letter X, like a xylophone or an X-ray? What was it like, and what did you do with it?
  • Imagine you are a T-Rex like Max from the song. What fun things would you like to do, even with short arms? Share your ideas with your friends or family!
  1. X Marks the Spot: Create a treasure hunt at home or in the classroom. Hide small objects or toys and mark their locations with an “X” on a simple map. Encourage the children to follow the map and find the treasures. This activity helps them recognize the letter X and understand its use in marking locations.

  2. X-ray Art: Provide children with black construction paper and white chalk or crayons. Ask them to draw “X-ray” pictures of their hands or simple objects like leaves or toys. This activity will help them connect the concept of X-rays with the letter X while engaging their creativity.

  3. Find the X: During a walk or a visit to the playground, challenge the children to find things that have the letter X in their names or shapes that look like an X. For example, they might spot a crossing sign or a jungle gym with intersecting bars. Encourage them to share their discoveries with the group.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music]
Hello everyone! Today I’m here to introduce the letter X. That’s me, the letter X! You guys are going to get to know me a little better. Let’s start with my sound. Repeat after me. [Music] I can’t hear you! Great!

Now let’s look at how you have to write me. It’s very easy! We have to make a diagonal line downwards, then we pick up our pencil and make another exactly the same way on the other side, like this. Amazing! I look like an hourglass. [Music]

Now we’re looking to write in lowercase. Let’s make an almost full circle until here, and then we will do the same on the other side, except in the opposite direction, like this. I look like a half-eaten apple! Try it at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!

Now let’s look at the words that start with X. Xylophone starts with X. I love how this instrument sounds! [Music] Taxi has a letter X. Have you ever taken a taxi? [Music] T-Rex also has an X. Did you know that dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago? X-ray starts with the letter X. Did you know that thanks to X-rays, doctors can see human bones?

You’ve learned so much about me! Now let’s sing! Max! [Music] T-Rex Max is so excited to get started. Wait, what’s wrong? Why can’t he play with those short arms? There’s just no way! [Applause] [Music]
