Five B activities

  1. Trace the big B

    Start at red dot 1 and follow the dots to the ring. A finger first, then a crayon.

  2. Build a B

    One straw for the line, two rolls of play dough for the bumps.

  3. Hunt for B

    Find B on signs, boxes and book covers. Count them together.

  4. Say it out loud

    B as in ball, bee and bubble. Take turns finding one more.

  5. Color the battery

    The B practice page ends with a battery to color, then a B to light up.

The B practice page: a battery to color and rows of B to trace.
