Writing game for kindergarten
Fun Writing Games to Encourage Your Kids to Write
No one ever said that parenting was easy, especially if you’re one of those parents who is struggling with helping their kids with school work. Many children are not fans of writing or any activities that involve writing. Luckily for you, this list is a lot of different and exciting writing games to create a love of writing in your kids so they can write more and have fun doing it.
1. Telephone Pictionary
This game is really engaging and will promote creativity with your children while at the same time pushing them to write. If you have more players it will go better, and all you need is paper and pencils. Every player simply writes a sentence on the paper and passes the paper on. The next player will draw what is represented by the sentence and fold down the paper so only the drawing is visible, then passes the sheet.
The next player will write a sentence that describes the drawing and fold the sheet to keep only their sentence visible. The paper keeps going around in this way until it’s full. Then, all players can compare the original sentence with what happened later for laughs.
2. Story Telling
In this game, you also only need paper and pencils, and all kids will get to write a story together. Onboard, you can write the first sentence of the tale. Then, over the next two minutes, the children will write down the next step of the story. After two minutes, their paper goes to someone else who will continue the story. These papers go around a few times until such time as the story is done. Then, you can enjoy sharing the different and funny stories that were created.
3. Fill in the Blanks
For this game, you need some story sheets with blank spots. According to Rick Steele, an educator at Academized and Ox Essays, “to play, you just have to give the sheet to your child and they will fill in the blanks however they want by using their imagination. Then, you can read the finished story together afterward.
”
It can be difficult to get your children to write if they don’t like it, but there’s a lot of writing games that can make the process more exciting.
4. Birthday Cards
Every time there is a family birthday or special event, or during the holidays, you can get your children to write the birthday card. This will make them speak their thoughts about their family members as well as encouraging them to write in the process.
5.Cursive Name Writing
This game can be exciting to learn to write in cursive. You can take a sheet and fold it in half. Ask your children to write their names in cursive in large script, along the top of the folded crease. They can trace over the writing time and time again, then they can go over the folded piece until they create a mirror image on the other side of the sheet. Then they can cut out their names until the writing looks like a large bug.
6. Challenge for Vocabulary Terms
This game is better for children that can write comfortably and are more than six years old.
You can give your child a new word and tell them what the meaning is. Then, Henrietta Fillon, a tutor at Big Assignments and Elite Assignment Help, says “you can challenge them to write a sentence with the new word in it. You can also ask your child to write a complete story about this word if you have time for it. You can also ask for drawings if they don’t enjoy writing much.”
7. Comic Strip Fun
This activity is better for older children who already know how to read and write, especially if they like storytelling. You can get some comic strips for your children and ask them to fill out the dialogue bubbles (which should be blank, to begin with). Then, challenge them to make it more exciting. They can also draw with crayons to make more colors and liven up the comic strip.
It can be difficult to get your children to write if they don’t like it, but there’s a lot of writing games that can make the process more exciting. By spending time with your children to focus on learning to write, they will prosper and learn to enjoy writing.

8 Fun Kindergarten Writing Games
One of my sons detests writing. He can read and listen to lessons all day, but when it comes time to write, he enters battle mode.
After all, he doesn’t need to learn how to write to play video games, send a message to his Mamo, or demand to know what’s for supper (maybe I should make written requests a thing, ha!).
But we can show them that learning to write is about more than putting pencil to paper. It is about forming ideas and using words effectively for a variety of purposes.
Kids do need to learn the skill of writing because it will be the easiest way for them to independently put their thoughts down.
But we can get them interested in that by pairing it with these kindergarten writing games that let them see how much fun writing can be.
1. Roll to Rhyme
This is simple and so much fun! All you need is a die to roll. Show your little one how to play by having him choose a word. Now, you roll the die and try to come up with that number of words that rhyme with it. Then, it’s your kid’s turn!
You might be surprised at the creative side of your kid that comes out to win this game – what the heck is a bamobadoodle?? If he makes up a word, that’s fine – just ask him to explain what it is. Hilarious, I tell you.
Obviously, rhyming is used in many different kinds of writing, and this game also provides practice accessing a broad range words. You can also switch this up and do words that start with the same letter for some beginner practice with alliteration.
2. Crazy Stories
Did you ever do those goofy part of speech stories when you were growing up? One person asks the other to name a noun, verb, color, etc.
and fills it into a story template – which the other hasn’t seen.
Then they read it, and usually, it is a lot of absurd fun that is perfect for kindergarteners.
This game is pretty much the same as that. First, make a story template by writing out a simple story but leave out some of the main words – characters, places, etc. Also include a good number of blanks for describing words.
Then, you and your kid are going to come up with some words together to write on color-coded pieces of paper. For example, nouns could be blue, verbs could be red, etc.
If your little one doesn’t know the formal names for parts of speech, just use categories they understand – person, color, action, etc. Under the blanks on the story template write the color of the word category needed. Make sure you include both of your names in the people category.
Now, have your little one pick words from the corresponding categories to fill in the blanks!
Want a real challenge? Try to read it to your kid without laughing.
Kid challenge – make an illustration for the story.
3. Cloud Painting Game
I love a cloudy day, and I will often try to jostle my kids into loving it with me by telling them to look at the clouds and find pictures. Fun fact: 12-year-olds think they are way too cool for that. Fun fact 2: Kindergarteners think it is awesome!
Get out a blue piece of construction paper and slap a glob of white paint in the middle. Now, fold the paper in half and let your little one smoosh the paint around with it folded. Mess-free art? Sure, thanks!
Now, open it up and have your kiddo come up with as many different pictures as she can see. Write these words down on a separate piece of paper and let her copy them on the cloud painting. Mess-free, LOL.
I know it’s more of a writing activity than a die-hard game, but it’s worth it for the practice interpreting abstract things with words AND handwriting practice.
4. Carnival Chip Toss
You might not have a brand new, enormous, stuffed elephant or whatever to give your kid for this game, but it is so much fun he probably won’t notice!
Grab some plastic cups and use a marker to write a word on each one right under the top on the inside of the lid.
The challenge will be coming up with synonyms for those words, so you might want to keep that in mind while picking words.
Put all the cups on the floor close together and tape them together, so they don’t fall over. Now, have your kid toss a coin or other small object to the cups. Tell him to come up as many words as he can that mean the same thing as the word on the cup the coin landed in.
Encourage him to think of words that mean almost the same thing as well, so he doesn’t get frustrated.
You can also write down the words he comes up with (dry erase boards are good for this) to provide an opportunity for him to explore those words more later, maybe copying them down or trying to use them in a sentence.
Pro Tip: Help Your Child Become Better at Writing
Enroll your child for the Atlas Mission and let your child play with this award-winning educational program. Your child will become better at writing without even realizing it!
5. Red Light, Green Light – Punctuation Edition
As adults, we take punctuation so much for granted that we forget how powerful it really is.
Get your kids to appreciate this tool – and get a bit of exercise – with this game.
On some different colored pieces of paper, draw one big punctuation mark on each. It doesn’t matter much what the colors are, but in my brain, red makes sense for the period and yellow for the comma. Pick two other colors for the question mark and exclamation point.
You might want to get outside for this one. Here’s how it works. Your kid will stand a good bit away from you but close enough to see the “signs.” When you say go, she starts walking toward you.
If you hold up the period, she stops. Comma means walk slowly. Exclamation point means jump up and down, and question mark means stop and ask a question. When a sign goes down, she continues walking again.
Once she gets to you, guess what? It’s her turn to hold up the signs. Yay for exercise!
6. Pay the Toll
If your kid has some kind of little tricycle or bicycle they ride outside on, you can set up a little track for this game by outlining a path with sidewalk chalk, flower pots, or shoes.
Yeah, we live in Oklahoma. Do you know what the mud is like here? Shoes end up outside regularly.
Anyway, you can also make a running track the same way. Then, position yourself to be the tollbooth or gate. When mini race car driver or track superstar gets to you, tell them they cannot pass unless they answer a question with a whole sentence.
Ask questions about whatever goofy stuff you know they will like. E.g. “Who is your favorite character on Ninjago?” If they answer with one word, give an example – “My favorite character on Ninjago is the master.” And on they go again!
You can switch places with this one too, mwahaha!
7. Opposites Challenge
If you are out of breath from the punctuation or toll games, this one’s for you! No set up here – just sit down with your kiddo and go back and forth saying opposites. You say a word – she says the opposite. Then she gives you a word, and so on.
If your little one gets stuck, tell her the correct word and write it down on a piece of paper for her to try copying – this is great for building vocabulary.
8. Just Guess
This one is pretty free form – in other words, great for if you are lazy like I am and glaze over games that require set up like they aren’t even there. Also great if you have cleaned up exactly 100.2 messes, done 3 loads of laundry, and cooked 3 meals today.
Basically, it is just a plain old guessing game. The beauty is in how many concepts you can squeeze into this one game – imagery, sensory, and other descriptive word usage, as well as purpose and audience.
Okay, you do have to set up one thing. The cards to draw from. Since this is for kindergarteners, you may want to use pictures. They can be anything, and you can cut them out of magazines if that’s easier than drawing them out. Throw them in a hat, and the game begins.
Technically, you could skip that and just let each person think of a word and give clues, but my kids steal my chocolate… trust issues.
Take turns picking a card and giving clues to get the other person to guess who, what, or where you are.
And that’s a wrap, folks!
Put these fun kindergarten writing games together with manual writing skills practice – no writing “A” 100 times though! The best things you can do are to just let them write whatever they want. Write whatever words they want for them, so they can copy.
Common themes around here are poop, butt, and goofy names for brothers and sisters. Let them trace letters in sand or salt or use other sensory ways of forming letters – painting is a fun one! Finally, caption all of their art for them until they get interested in doing it themselves.
With these kids’ writing games, you will have a little Shakespeare on your hands in no time.
Games and games with low mobility for preschool children
Consultation for parents MDOU D/S 231
Topic: Games and game exercises of low mobility for preschool children
Author: Tochenykh VV, physical education instructor.
Yaroslavl, 2015
Sedentary games are used as an independent form of work on physical education. The purpose of sedentary games and game exercises is:
- decrease in physical activity, i.e., a gradual transition from an excited state to a calmer one;
- removal of general fatigue, motor tension of the muscles of the hands, flexibility and mobility of the fingers, coordination of the movements of the arms and legs;
- development of mindfulness, ingenuity, memory, observation, dexterity, speed of reaction;
- strengthening the cardiovascular, muscular, respiratory and other body systems;
- orientation in space;
- formation and consolidation of motor skills;
- getting pleasure and creating a good mood;
- preservation and strengthening of the health of preschool children;
- increasing interest in physical culture and a healthy lifestyle.
In sedentary games, movements are performed at a slow pace, their intensity is insignificant.
The specifics of this type of games are: the way children are organized (circle, loose, line, etc.), the movements that are included in the game, the method of playing the game (choosing a game, venue, preparing for the game, gathering children for the game, explaining the game, conducting game, the end of the game), the pace at which it is played (slow), the number of repetitions of movements (3-6 times).
Games of low mobility contribute to the development of memory, ingenuity and observation, coordination of movements, orientation in space and motor skills. In addition, they give children pleasure, create a good mood, which is important. Games of low mobility are held with all children simultaneously at a physical education lesson (in its third part), leisure and holidays, daytime and evening walks, in the process of physical culture minutes and physical culture pauses, and independent motor activity of children.
Games and game exercises of low mobility for the younger group.

Games and game exercises for the preparatory group.
1. "Guess what they did" The teacher chooses a driver who moves away from the children at a distance of 8-10 steps and turns his back to them. He must guess what the rest of the players are doing. Children agree on what action they will portray. At the command of the educator "It's time!" the guesser turns, approaches the players and says: Hello, children! Where have you been? What did you see? Children answer: What we saw - we will not say, But what we did - we will show. Children imitate some kind of action, for example, playing the accordion, riding horses, etc.
The driver guesses. If he is wrong, he loses. Children say what they did and come up with a new action. The driver guesses again. Then another child is chosen to take his place, and the game is repeated.
2. "Ring" Children stand in a circle, and the leader is inside the circle. In his palms he holds a ring, which he imperceptibly tries to pass to one of the children: with his palms folded in a boat, he opens the palms of the children in turn. Children closely monitor the actions of the driver and their comrades. The one who got the ring should not give himself away. At the signal of the driver: “Ring, ring, go out onto the porch!” - a child with a ring runs out to the center of the circle and becomes the leader. If the children noticed his ring before the signal, then they are not allowed into the circle. Then the game continues with the former driver.
4. "Handles-legs" Children are scattered around the hall. The teacher pronounces the words of the text and shows the movements.
Children perform. Everyone clapped their hands. Friendly, more fun! (They clap their hands.) Our legs pounded Louder and faster! (They tap their feet.) Let's hit the knees Hush, hush, hush! (They slap on the knees.) Hands, hands raise Higher, higher, higher! (Slowly raise their hands.) Our pens spun (turn the brushes left and right), Lowered again. We circled, circled And stopped (drop their hands).
5. "Forbidden movement" The players form a circle. The teacher agrees with them in advance which movement should not be done, for example, squat, clap your hands, wave your arms. Then, to the music, he shows various movements that the children must repeat exactly. The more varied and fun these movements, the more interesting the game. The teacher can show the forbidden movement - the one who inadvertently repeats it must dance, sing or read a poem. The game can be complicated: agree that there are two movements that cannot be repeated, but instead of them, others must be done. For example, when the teacher puts his hand on the back of his head, the children should sit down with their legs crossed, and when he leans forward, clap their hands twice.
6. "Three, thirteen, thirty" The players choose the leader, stand in a circle at arm's length from each other. The driver is in the middle of the circle. When the game is played for the first time, it is desirable that the teacher be the driver. The teacher explains: “If I say: three, everyone spreads their arms to the sides; if thirteen - put your hands on your belt; if thirty, they raise their hands ”(you can choose any movement). The teacher quickly calls one or the other movement. The child who made the mistake sits on the floor. When one or two players remain, the game ends. The rest are winners.
7. "Tops and roots" Children form a circle or line. In the center of the circle or in front of the line is an adult (leader) with a large ball in his hands (one of the children can play the game). The driver throws the ball, naming some vegetable, and the children catch the ball, name the edible part and throw the ball to the driver. Leading. Eggplant. 1st child. Tops.
Leading. Radish. 2nd child. Roots. Leading. Cabbage. 3rd child. Tops. Leading. Potato. 4th child. Roots. Leading. Strawberry. 5th child. Tops. Leading. Garlic. 6th child. Roots. Leading. Cucumbers. 7th child. Tops. Children who have never made a mistake are noted. "Gate" Children walk around the playground in pairs, holding hands. At the teacher’s signal “Gate!” stop and raise their hands. The last pair pass under the gate and stand in front. The game continues.
8. "Stop!" All players stand on a line drawn along one side of the court. On the opposite side, a circle (two or three steps in diameter) indicates the house of the driver, who stands with his back to the children and says: “Walk quickly! Look, don't yawn! Stop!". As he speaks, the children step forward. As soon as he says: "Stop!" - stop. The driver looks: who did not have time to freeze in place and move? Names these children - they return to the original line. Then the driver again turns his back on the players and says: “Walk fast!”.
Everyone continues to step forward, starting from the place where the “Stop!” signal caught them. Those who return to the starting line move from there. The game continues until one of the children comes close to the driver and gets into his house before he says: “Stop!”. The one who succeeds becomes the leader.
9. "Who left?" Children stand in a circle or semicircle. The teacher offers one child to remember those who are nearby (five or six people), and then leave the room or turn away and close their eyes. One of the children is hiding. The teacher asks: "Guess who left?". If the child guesses correctly, he chooses someone instead of himself. If he makes a mistake, he turns away again and closes his eyes, and the one who was hiding returns to his place. The guesser must name it.
10. "Find the ball!" All players stand in a circle close to each other facing the center. One child (at the choice of the teacher) becomes the center - this is the driver. The players keep their hands behind their backs.
One of them is given a ball by the teacher. From this moment, the children begin to pass it to each other behind their backs. The player standing inside the circle tries to guess who has the ball. To do this, he can ask anyone to show his hands, telling him: "Hands!". The child instantly stretches both hands forward with palms up. The one who had the ball or who dropped it becomes the center, and the driver takes his place.
11. "Tick-tock-tock!" Children are scattered around the room. At the signal "Tick!" everyone makes tilts left and right, at the signal “So!” stop, and at the signal "Knock!" bouncing in place. All signals are repeated 5-8 times. The one who makes a mistake is out of the game. The sequence of signals must change. At the end of the game, the most attentive player should be noted.
12. “Claps” Children move freely around the room. For one clap of the leader, they must jump, for two - to sit down, for three - to stand up with their hands raised (any other movement options are allowed).
13. "Four elements" The players perform movements in accordance with the signals: "Earth!" - hands down; "Water!" -hands forward, "Air!" - hands up; "Fire!" - rotate hands in the wrist and elbow joints. Whoever makes a mistake is considered a loser.
14. "How are you?"
We play all day. The goal of the day is to play too lazy. You look, do not lag behind. Repeat after us.
