Letter Writing Video

I thought that the idea of writing a letter with your finger on a student's back and then having them continue it to another student, and then to another student who eventually wrote the letter on the board, was a great idea! It was like "telephone", without the talking. I thought that this exercise really could help bodily/kinesthetic learners.

Taran,

I think this is a great idea to get students excited about learning to write letters. The only concern that I might have about this is safety and whether or not it may be inappropriate. Is there a classroom rule as far as studenets touching each other? Just a thought.

Thanks and that's something that I never thought of. I think the exercise is o.k. though, it is innocent enough. However, I'm currently not a teacher, so I can't be completely sure of all of the rules in schools. Any other teachers have feedback about this?
