Activities with First Name: List with children's names

Each child can receive a printed list or put a large list made out of craft paper in the class. You can also use the two lists: the individual and the collective.

Activity 1- Dictation

Say a name from the list. Each child should find it on the list in hand and circulate it. Then have a child write that name on the board. Ask them to check if they circled the right name. In order for this activity to be possible for everyone, it is important to provide some help. Say the initial and final letter, for example.

Activity 2 - Making the call

delivered to list call from the children in the room. Invite the children to name the absent children and circle those names. Follow the same guidelines as in activity 1, regarding the help needed to carry out the task.

Activity 3 – Separating girls and boys' names

Present the class call list. Ask the children to separate into two columns: girls' names and boys' names.

Observation: In all these activities, it is important to draw attention to the alphabetical order used in the lists. This knowledge: naming the letters of the alphabet is important to help the child find the letter he needs to write. In general, children arrive at school knowing how to “say” the alphabet, although not associating the name of the letter with its outlines. Take advantage of this knowledge so that they can make the relationship between the name of the letter and its path.
