These engaging crafts can even be used for quick and easy seasonal bulletin boards. There are so many seasonal crafts that you can use to make name practice more exciting for your students. Kindergarten crafts are one of my favorite ways to bring fun and engagement to the classroom. Try dismissing your students in smaller groups based on their names: “All students with a Z in their name may line up.” If you need students to pair up for an activity, they can find a partner that has the same number of letters in their name. You can also use name “games” as part of your classroom management. The last person standing has the mystery name! You might play a mystery name guessing game where you give clues like “The mystery name has five letters.” Students can start the game standing up and then sit down when the clue does not apply to their own name. This keeps students engaged in name practice and it helps them think about their names in a variety of ways. Once students have a good handle on what makes their names unique, it’s time to have some fun with names! Give students a chance to play some name games as a class. This is great math practice! Tip #2: Play Name Games The beginning of the year is a great time to create a class graph of names or provide other activities that give students a chance to count the number of letters in their names. Another helpful way for students to practice name recognition is to learn how many letters they have in their names.
