a) On piece of paper (A3 or A4, preferably thicker), each student writes his/her first name (or first and last name) vertically, placing one letter below the other. Each letter is then nicely decorated and colored.
b) A word is created that begins with one of the vertical letters. If possible, the word should be relevant to the particular child (e. g. express a characteristic, or name something that the students likes).
