Letters J and I
Using bodies to make letters
Month 9 · Activity 5 · Letters
Instructions
- Using three or more family members/friends, make the letter J with your bodies on the floor
- Take a picture of the people “J”
- Repeat with making the letter I with bodies on the floor
- Take a picture of the people “I”
- When making the letters and looking at the pictures, reinforce the straight across line at the top for both letters but a curved bottom for “J” and a straight bottom for “I”
Simplify
Using play people to make the letters allows a child to visually see the letter easier. See the picture at the top of the page using play people to make the letter I
Extend
Make it a family affair and try making all the letters of the alphabet during a family gathering. Be sure and have someone take a picture of each letter to see how everyone did and to use for future activities. See our family letter K at the top of the page.
