Back writing

Objectives

The learner can pronounce the letters of the alphabet.

Preparation

Preparation:

• Write the alphabet on the blackboard; put the letters that sound the same in one column (e.g. b, c, d, e, g, p, t, v, z).
• Repeat the alphabet together and focus on the correct pronunciation of each letter.

Materials needed:

• A device to play music
• Blackboard

Instructions

• Form a circle.

Start by giving an example:

• With your finger write a letter on the back of a learner.
• Let the learner guess the letter. If s/he is not sure or gives a wrong answer, write again.
• Let the learners walk freely in the room while music is playing.
• When you pause the music, the learners form pairs.
• One learner writes a letter on the back of his/her partner; this one takes a guess.
• Change roles.
