Ideas for handwriting practice

Here are some story starters and ideas to "spice up" handwriting practice.

View this email in your browser OMG- It's that time of year... Not talking about new year, but rather how both you and your clients are tired of the same old handwriting practice exercises. Need some inspirational ideas?   We got you! Write a caption or story for each picture. What are they saying? Doing? Why? What happens next? Other inspirations: The ABC Game:  You may recall as a child playing the ABC game usually with a ball. ( "A" my name is Alice.  I am from Alabama and I like apples.) Let's make a twist on this game and make it into handwriting practice. Each sentence must start with the letter. Children can create and write each sentence or you can take turns. "A" bear was walking in the forest. "Be" careful when crossing the street. "Can" you do the twist? "Dear" Santa I want a puppy. "Exercise" is good for your heart.... The Number Game: same game can be done with numbers. It maybe easier if the number can be anywhere in the sentence.  One day a boy was shopping in the store with his mother. There were two squirrels playing in the tree. The Interview: Create a list of questions to interview someone to learn more about them.  Sample questions to ask someone:  What is your favorite color  if you have a pet: what kind? What is its name What is your favorite TV show? What sport do you like to play or watch on TV What did you have for dinner last night? What is your favorite donut? What color is your mothers hair? What is/was your best and your worst subjects at school? What do you like to have on your pizza? If you had three wishes what would they be? Product highlight: Perfect for remote users Ultimate Magnetic Writing board These are amazing! Write on the 8x7" surface with the stylus pen or any magnet, then erase your creation by simply rubbing gently with "eraser end" of pencil-stylus or use finger and light touch. All marks disappear, with no mess! Write, then erase letters using the same motor pattern! Sneaky! Try using the pen under the board. For vision occluded fun. Use a wide refrigerator magnet and make a curvy path. Then use the stylus under the board to follow along the path creating a white line within the path. Pencil grips can be added to the stylus. Add masking tape around the stylus if hole in grip is too wide. Another way to erase: hold both of the narrow ends of the board, slightly bring hands together to make the board arch. (Do not bend in half!) Use alternating slightly up and down movements to move the filings around and clear the board. Especially useful with the writing phobic and those afraid of making a mistake.
