Names, Names and Lots of Games

The Ganon children are very interested in their names and the names of their classmates. We have done so many activities which focus on names. Below are a few of our favorites.

Hide and Seek Plates

The teachers hide the plates around the room and the children have to go find their plate. 

Some children choose to daily at their name to the magnet board. 

The children sorted the names by the first  letter of each name. 

The children often practice writing their names. 

The children counted how many letters in each name. 

The class created a book titled Ganon, GanonWho Do You See?  The book includes each child's photo and name.  The children enjoy reading it to each other.  One family reads it every morning as part of their arrival routine. 

Many of the children have already learned to read their friend's names.  A few children are enjoying writing their friend's names on post it notes and placing them around the classroom.
