We love making class books!  The kids cut apart their names and glued them back on this page.  I made a ton of copies of their first day of school pictures on the copy machine for various projects.  We used them here and then they each counted how many letters they have in their name.  I put this in our library center and the kids love counting the letters to check our work.

More Name Recognition

We do many activities with the kids' names.  Here are some ideas:  write names on construction paper have them glue foam pieces to each letter (great for fine motor), write kids' names using a white crayon on white paper and then have them use watercolor paint to find the secret message, write kids' names on construction paper with a black marker and have them rainbow trace on top of the lines (use every color of the rainbow). 

Names, Names, Names

Write each child's name on a large piece of white construction paper in pencil.  Give them some Bingo markers and let them "dot away" while saying each letter.  A great name recognition activity.
