Preschoolers love Amazing Action Alphabet's letter X the Fox, and teachers love the hands-on activity of taking an X-ray. The combination of the SEEING, HEARING and DOING makes this teaching method a success! The visual is of the fox in the shape in an X, and the action is pretending to take an X-ray while saying /X/ /X/ /X/. This is fun for every style of learner. I choose to talk about careers while teaching letter X. I also find it a perfect time to explore the human body.
Exploring the Letter X
The theme is Career Day...and why not? It would be a doctor who would take an X-Ray wouldn't it? (okay, it may be and X-ray technician, but you get the point!) So of course we talk about X-rays and engage in dramatic play as we dress up as doctors. I found a free download from Tried and True of animal X-rays that the children really enjoyed.
When a child takes an "X-ray" of X the fox they find the letter X inside his body. You can grab my Alphabet Activity eBook and print your X the Fox activity right now!
To add even a bit more excitement to this day the children used white paint to make a hand print, which happens to look just like a hand X-ray. Thanks Almost Unschoolers for a simple way to paint the hand bones!
What ideas to you do for the letter X? Hang in there friends. We only have like 5 weeks left of school around here. We can do this!
