The aim of this exercise is to improve
self-awareness
the ability to concentrate
Imagination
Perceiving the sensory stimulus and associating it with a known shape requires a lot of concentration and promotes spatial awareness.
Instructions
The group is divided into pairs. One child writes with his finger with medium pressure on the back of his partner, who has to recognise the writing and name it correctly. After 5 rounds, the group changes. Start with large letters.
Large simple letters are written, such as E, F, H, I, L, M, Z.
Large, complicated letters are written, such as A, B, C, D, G, K.
The letters are slowly reduced in size
Variations
Numbers are written, first one at a time, and then up to 99.
The letters or numbers are written rotated in other positions (lying on the stomach or back).
Any simple objects can also be tried.
More complex variation: Mathematical formulas
mathematical formulas
Years
Names
"which are not only to be recognised and named, but also interpreted: e.g. c2= a2+b2 → Pythagorean theorem, 17.12.1770 → Beethoven's birthday....
Tips
If the signal from the finger is not sufficient for recognition, an inverted pencil can also be used for writing.
