Having children
write in the air is a great way to practice strokes (lines, circles, slants, pushes),
shapes, letters, and numerals. You
can have them extend one arm and stick out their index finger and middle
finger. The teacher demonstrates
as the children follow along.
Note! If you are facing the children you will
need to reverse your movements.
Children will also
enjoy using a writing wand. Tape
several strips of colored tissue paper (1 ½ “ x 18”) to a paint stick or jumbo
craft stick. Children model the movements
that the teacher makes in the air.
