OT Activity of the Day:
Mad Libs!
Target Age Range: 6 and up
This activity is perfect for your First-Third Graders. Often times when your child struggles with handwriting, the last thing they want to do is write. Mad Libs are great because your child is only asked to write a few words and this activity is fun and entertaining.
Depending on what your child needs work on, you can use the Mad Libs to target a few skills at a time. For example, just focus on letter placement and sizing one day and then maybe letter formation and casing another day. This way you're not overwhelming your child with what is expected of them.
Here's the website where I found the featured Mad Lib:
