1000+ Show and Tell Ideas By Letter Ideas – The Ultimate Guide from A-Z

by | May 3, 2023

Did you ever do show and tell as a child? I remember bringing some of my favorite items or things that my parents thought were neat.

It’s easy to run out of ideas and not bring the same thing every time. I wanted to put together a master list of sorts including 1000+ (yes, really..I counted) show and tell ideas by letter A-Z!

What is Show and Tell?

During show and tell, children bring in different items to share with the class. Show and tell allows students to share and teach about an item they love.

Show and tell is a great opportunity for children to get comfortable being uncomfortable in front of their classmates.

Tips for Show and Tell

Show and tell can be scary and challenging for little ones. I wanted to make sure and give some tips to help make show and tell easier!

  • Give a time limit: Give children a time limit for sharing. Let them know beforehand what the time limit so they know that at some point their time will be up for sharing.
  • Encourage Them to Practice: This is a brand new concept to lots of children, so encouraging them to practice helps them to plan what they are going to say.
  • Remind Them to Speak Clearly: When kids are nervous they are often going to mumble and speak lowly. Remind them to speak clearly when presenting.
  • Help Them Decide: Help your little one decide what to do by giving them guidance. If your little one is having trouble deciding, try to give them a few options to pick from!

Frequently Asked Questions About Show and Tell By Letter

At the end of the day, your child is going to be taking something to his class to talk about and explain to his class. Make sure that they know about their item, and are able to answer some basic questions.

Also, if they are taking something on the fragile side, it would probably be best if you were to take it to the school for them. It doesn’t matter how many times we tell them to be careful or gentle, they still throw around their backpacks and other belongings when they are playing with ther friends. So if you can’t take the item to the school, it would probable be best to send something sturdy or you won’t mind getting torn up.
