Ice Cream My Name


Today we are going with a Summer theme! After all, Summer is almost here! Not sure about your kids but my kids are totally crazy about ice cream! Anything related to ice cream is a total hit in our house. This is why I decided to make this printable name recognition game and give it a very cool name: Ice Cream My Name!


Ice Cream Name Recognition Activity with Free Printable

You will need to print out our printable ice cream. It’s only one sheet printable and it includes 6 scoops of ice cream and one cone. In case your child’s name has more than 6 letters, just print an additional sheet of the same printable. We laminated our ice cream because in this way we can use it more than once and expand the game to other words, maybe family members or sight words after our toddler learns to spell her own name.

After you have printed it out, write on a cone the complete name using a dry-erase marker. Inside the circles on the ice cream scoops write a single letter from the name. Your toddler’s task is to build her/his name using ice cream scoops to match the name written on the cone.



As I mentioned, you can use the same set to teach your toddler names of other members of your family, sight words or any other word you would like. You will simply use a paper handkerchief to wipe the dry-erase marker and write other words on the cone and letters on ice cream scoops.

Simple and effective! If you add a real ice cream into the game and treat them for a job well done, they will love it!
