Activities to encourage children to develop their fine motor skills in Reception and Year 1 to help improve their pencil control and encourage them to write with ease and enjoy writing.
It is useful for all Reception and Year 1 teachers although they could easily be adapted for Nursery Teachers as well. It is a range of 20+ activities that are cheap and easy to use to enhance your setting. Whether it is to add an extra fun Phonics activity or to ensure Maths is a priority in your setting, you can adapt these activities to suit your children's needs.
By encouraging your children to build their fine motor skills on a daily basis you can help them to build the muscles they need for writing and recording. If children are not bothered by pain or discomfort in their hands then they will be able to set their mind completely to the task at hand.
How many boys have scruffy or illegible hand writing in your class, or those who don't want to pick up a pencil at all? By making it fun and engaging it won't feel like work at all and they will be so proud of themselves when they see the improvement they have made.
I have also attached a blank area plan, which can be used to plan for inside and outside activities and other areas in the classroom, to give a whole overview of what and where you have planned for.
