Functional Handwriting Practice Ideas

Looking for ways to sneak in  a little handwriting practice without them knowing??? 

Try these:

  • Write the grocery list (even just print the first letter...or sound it out)
  • Make a treasure hunt on sticky notes
  • Keep score during a game
  • Write down a phone message (set it up that Grandma calls and has a message that has to be recorded.)
  • Send a postcard (everyone loves getting mail)
  • Games - pictionary, make your own Headbands cards, ...
  • Hangman, crossword puzzles, tic tac toe (with other letters/words than x & o)
