Magnet Pages for Name Recognition
These pages are designed to help children identify the first letter of their names. Using your class list, determine that pages you will need to print. For example if your child's name is Sara, print the "S" page. Then, write Sara's name in the space and glue a picture of Sara in the space provided. Now, have your children use the pages as you would with any magnet page.
Children will love an activity with their photos on them.
To use a magnet page, purchase circular Expo Brand whiteboard magnets. They have been at Sam's Club, sometimes packaged with push pins, or on EBay (ebay is your best source-search for expo whiteboard magnets). Have the children put the paper on a cookie sheet. Bakers Secret brand of cookie sheet that is 9x13 works best. Have the children complete the picture by putting a magnet in each circle. Some people use pompoms or bingo markers with them. This activity is designed to promote one to one correspondence and letter recognition. If you have older kids, these magnets can also be used with the Magnet Mosaics.
