American Activities Handwriting

Start by downloading the Handwriting Practice workbook and printing on plain white copy paper.

The pages entail:

  • In the upper left corner, you’ll see a large example of how to write both the uppercase and the lowercase letter.
  • In the upper right corner is your patriotic image!
  • Underneath the picture, the first line of letters will be uppercase examples of writing.
    • Underneath those letters, have your child practice writing their letters *sized correctly*.
  • Below the uppercase letters and practice you’ll see lowercase examples of writing.
    • Underneath those letters have your child practice writing their letters *sized correctly*.
  • Along the bottom you’ll see rectangles and circles.
    • Rectangles – Have your child write the UPPERCASE letter inside of the rectangles.
    • Circles – Have your child write the lowercase letter inside of the circles.

American Activities Math

Next,  you’ll also see the preschool math component in the same download! Again, just print these off on plain white copy paper! I have given the option to select between number puzzles (1-10) or (1-20), depending on your students’ abilities.

Start by cutting your number puzzle out – cut around the outer border and on all the vertical lines. Mix them up!

Then, have your student put the strips in numerical order. Once they have them set, they can glue the strips (in order) onto colored copy paper!

American Activities Challenge

Take this activity to the next level by:

  • Gluing the numbered strips onto RED copy paper.
  • Using the third page of the download, cut out the flag details.
  • Flip the red copy paper over.
  • Glue on the parts of the flag onto your red paper to have your student(s) create their very own American flag!
