Alphabet Henohenomoheji

Practice writing alphabet letters with a classic Japanese hiragana game!

This is a simple writing activity for 4th graders and elementary school special needs classes. I paired this with Lusasmh's "Pokemon ABC" to make it more fun. You can use another alphabet slideshow or flashcards (I provided some flashcards).

Anyways, here's the basic procedure I used. First, we practiced A through M, then we drew an original "romaji henohenomoheji" face using those letters. We repeated the same steps for N through Z, and drew a second face with those letters.

For the third and final henohenomoheji, let the students use all of the letters. Set a timer for two minutes for each face. If you and your HRT do this activity on the blackboard, it gets a bit more fun.

      Great flashcards!
      Just a heads up. For X I've found they prefer to use it in the context of the end of the word with examples like 'boX' or 'foX'.

      Great idea for the "X" factor. I'll fix that!
