Alphabet riddles for young language learners!

I was recently in Konya, Turkey with a great team of teacher educators from SELT Academy giving an initial teacher training program to Algerian teachers who are going to teach in Turkish schools. Everyday we had lots of fun sharing jokes during our a  30-minute van ride to school.  Here I share one topic we really enjoyed: alphabet riddles.
