Name written in plasticine

Children write the first letter of their name in the Braille alphabet using plasticine balls.

Steps

1. We show a board with six fields and explain that each letter is a different arrangement of dots.
2. Children get a cardboard card with a 2x3 grid drawn on it.
3. They place plasticine balls in the right fields according to the letter pattern.
4. With their eyes closed, they try to guess their friends' letters.

Tip: Prepare cards with the Braille alphabet in a large format beforehand, it's easier to copy the dots from them.
