Number of players: 2-unlimited
Print off all 26 letter-sheets. (Link below)
Print off one score sheet per 10 players.(Link below)
Give each player a blank piece of paper crumpled up into a tight ball.
(Cut each letter sheet in half, on the dotted line. Line up the sections
of the letter sheet, side-by-side, with the letters in the same
direction. Slightly overlap the sides that are together and tape those
sides. Now it should be a long strip of paper with 2 letters. Take the
ends and pull them together to form an circle with the paper and tape
those ends together. The final letter tube should look like the example
below. There should be a letter on both sides of the tube.

Teachers: Place all letter tubes on the ground in a line about 1
foot apart. Give each student one paper ball. Have the students get in a
line. Teachers might want to focus on a few letters per day such
as A,B,C,D,E (Monday) F,G,H,I,J (Tuesday) K,L,M,N,O (Wednesday)
P,Q,R,S,T (Thursday) and U,V,W,X,Y,Z (Friday).
Parents: Place all letter tubes on the ground in a line about 1
foot apart. Give each player one paper ball. Have the players get in a
line. If you're working on letters with your child you could focus on
specific letter sets each day for a week.
Play Instructions: Have the first player go to the first letter
tube and try to throw his ball into the tube. (You could also have them
try to drop the ball into the tube, if throwing is difficult for their
level of skills.) When throwing, the player should say the letter out
loud. If he gets his ball into the tube then the scorekeeper should
circle the A, which is under his name, on the score sheet. If he misses,
he moves to the next letter tube then tries to throw his ball into that
tube. Each child gets one try to throw his ball into each tube.
How to win: The player with the most letters circled under his
name on the score sheet is the winner. If you play throughout the week,
you could have different winners each day, or one winner at the end of
the week. You could give out a little prize at the end, such as a
letter stencil etc...
