Help your learners practice cutting simple shapes with a fun hot dog craft! After making they can be added to a classroom or home learning display!
You can help students:
- trace horizontal lines from left to right (great for pre reading and writing)
- model some math positional and directional language as you help them assemble it - behind, in front, between, first, next, last etc
Here is an idea for a word warm up or mini lesson to use alongside your hot dog craft activity. Work with small groups of students if possible. Let students write with a whiteboard as you do!
Hotdog Words Roll
- make a chart for ot and og words
- roll and alphabet dice (or use magnetic letters)
- help students combine the onset and rime to make words - e.g. n-ot
- you may like to include nonsense word as well, depending on the reading program/expectations you are implementing
If you'd like more writing activity pages for word families, our Quick Craft pack makes a great standby for the whole year. Students love seeing a new shape in a learning center each week and contributing to a new classroom display!
