Alphabet Trading Cards

We created alphabet cards for your kindergarten and first grade students. These cards will get your students talking about different occupations as well as learning their letters.

Print out the cards on paperstock front and back.The front side has an upper case and lower case letter of the alphabet, along with a character that represents an occupation. Cut out the cards and hand them out to your students. These are trading cards, this way students can trade other students for the occupation that they like.

The back side of the card shows the education, wage and outlook for that occupation. See the Alphabet Key on the rest of this page.

There are also suplemental writing worksheets that go along with the cards
