Here is the next installment of our letter of the week series-- the letter Xx. The letter X can be challenging. It is so easy to identify but hard to think of what activities to do with this letter. Check out the great things we came up with below. See all the rest of our letter of the week posts here.
Snack Ideas
How about making some hot cross buns!
Or look at all the cute X ideas at Cookie Cutter Lunch.
Books
I love the Taxi Dog and books about X-rays are always fun.
Crafts
My favorite is this cute X-ray Fish Activity by Red Ted Art. And look at this adorable Q-Tip Skeleton.
Instructions for this simple handprint x-ray activity can be found at Almost Unschoolers.
Learning Activities
Try this Criss Cross Chalk Game.
Draw a large letter X on the pavement with chalk then have the children position themselves on the end of each line. They have to run along the X without bumping into each other at the intersection.
Play a game of Tic Tac Toe.
Follow a Treasure Map- X Marks the Spot.
Make an X on a piece of paper with Painters Tape. Then completely cover the piece of paper with paint. Let the paint dry and remove the tape to reveal the hidden Letter X below.
Practice playing a xylophone. You could even play musical chairs using a xylophone for the music. Let the kids take turns.
Set up a doctor's office and have the kids practice taking x-rays. You can make a simple x-ray machine by cutting holes in a cardboard box and gluing cut outs of bones on the front.
