Finger spaces in writing

As we all know in the early stage of a child learning to write they don't put finger spaces in their work.

Here are some resources to help, remind and encourage children to do that.

Spacemen Scroll down toward the bottom of the page to download clipart for sticking to a lolly stick.

Not sure if these will work because I haven't tried them out yet. If you click on the image to open and then right click and save to your computer. You can then insert into a word document and make them the size you want. The idea is to laminate and cut out. Child makes the rocket go along the page and the little spaceman makes the spaces in the child's writing.

A nice idea is to give a child a lollipop stick and let them decorate it themselves so as to take ownership of it.

Addition game - combining 2 numbers under 12

A very simple game but lots of fun. You will need two dice numbered from 1 - 6 and lots of counters. Children to throw the two dice in turn and add the two numbers together. They then cover up the relevant number on their number strip. The first one to cover up all their numbers wins.

Numeracy game - to encourage counting on

Click the image and the right click and save to your computer. Insert into a word document and print out.

Write numbers in each of the tiles, I am using 1-5 for my little group. Children have to throw a dice and move that number of spaces. Which ever number they land on they have to collect that number of counters. The next time they throw they have to collect the counters and add them onto the number of counters they have already collected. The one who has won the most counters at the end of the game is the winner.
