Group Time Activity "Dd" Detectives Ahead of time, write many different capital and lowercase letters on small sticky notes and place them all around the room. Ask for volunteers who would like to be the "D detectives". Let your detectives carry magnifying glasses to look for capital and lowercase d's around the room. After they've each found one, have them bring the letters to you. Play with new volunteers until everyone has had a turn.
