Celebrating Names: Editable Student Name Activities

As a kindergarten and past preschool teacher, writing students’ names is one of the first things we work on when school starts.

I’d spend countless hours printing out names for students to trace, writing on sentence strips for students to cut apart and put back together, and bubble write letters on card stock for students to lay play dough on.

But… we now have a resource to help you take back all of that prep time!

EDITABLE STUDENT NAME ACTIVITIES

This name bundle includes 25 different activities your students can use to practice learning to spell, write, and identify the letters in their name. And the best part, it is editable, so all you do is…

🌟TYPE THE NAMES, WATCH IT POPULATE ON THE ACTIVITY PAGES, AND CLICK PRINT!!!🌟
