Draw on the sand

What it works on

Copying a shape with your hands, guided by your eyes: visual-motor integration, the skill most closely tied to early handwriting and to schoolwork generally.

For players whose drawing or writing lags behind their ideas, or who find tracing a line frustrating. On a big screen it is whole-arm movement; on a tablet it becomes fingertip control and pre-writing practice.

Start with straight lines, then curves, then simple letters and numbers. Match the shape shown before drawing freely.
