Painting: Idea #51

Get out your water paints! Kids love to paint! Here is a fun activity to do with your student for letter sound practice:

1. Give your student a worksheet similar to this one: http://homeschooling.about.com/od/langearlyread/ss/letterswrite_6.htm?terms=s+d, or one that you make. Make sure the worksheet has the letter sound your student is struggling with.

2. Give your student water paints. Tell them that they have 2 minutes to paint as many things as they can think of that begin with that letter sound. So if they have an S page, they might paint a snake, a seal, a sister, spaghetti, etc.

3. Your student will be painting around the letter on the page. The fun is that they only have 2 minutes.

4. If you see that your student is struggling, allow a little more time to paint. When their time is up, see how many pictures they drew, then give them another piece of paper and try a different letter sound.

5. If you have more than one student, you can make it into a competition to see who draws more pictures.
