The letter H can be taught with both snacks and crafts. You can also revise your classroom management plan by having helping hands to pass out to those students who are following the rules and helping out in class. The child with the most helping hands at the end of each day can receive a special prize, such as a pencil or a piece of candy.
Alphabet Book for Children
Children love to create projects. Have them make an alphabet book with a page dedicated to each letter of the alphabet as they learn each letter. For the letter H, have them draw a happy face on the capital and lower case letter. They can also draw hippos, hearts and horns. Have them trace their hand on the page for a background and place the letters in the palm. The other objects that they draw can go either in the fingers or outside the tracing of the hand.
Snacks to Teach the Letter H
Give your students snacks to reinforce the letter H. Some ideas include hot dogs and hamburgers. If you have access to a microwave, making the children hot dogs for lunch can be a relatively cheap idea that will be sure to thrill each child. You can also serve healthy snacks by taking any fruit or vegetable and serving it as a happy healthy snack.
Activities to Teach the Letter H
Have students create a helping hand card. This is a particularly great craft for students to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or another gift giving holiday. On various colors of construction paper, children should trace their hand and cut the drawings out. On each hand cutout the children can draw or you can write for them, various helping hands activities such as cleaning up, helping with the dishes, and taking out the trash. These hand cutouts can then be stapled together, and given as a helping hand gift to either mom or dad.
Help students learn the proper way to write both the capitol and lower case letter H. See how many words students can come up with that begin with the letter H as well. You can also have an H scavenger hunt to see how many words the students can find the letter H in. This can include words that begin with H, and words that have an h in the middle such as clothes.
