Writing Game
Here’s a fun twist to encourage writing. Use this to practice writing letters, numbers, and shapes.
Materials needed:
- blank paper
- drawing utensils
- blank cube template or wooden block
Take a blank cube template or wooden block and label each side with letters, numbers or shapes that your child/student is working on. Take turns rolling the “die” and writing the shape of the letter, number or shape on top. This can be played by any number of children of varying ages.
More ideas:
- Make the sound of the letter
- Write the capital/lowercase letter that corresponds to it instead of that letter
- Count to the number showing (use manipulatives - like m&m’s - if necessary)
- Add or subtract each new number shown
- Find the shape in the room
- Add each new shape rolled to one picture to create a piece of art
- Develop each shape into an object (for instance, a circle can become a sun; a square can become a cake)
