When kids begin to write their letters,
they need a lot of guided practice before they can write them
independently, including letter formation alphabet practice. These fun Winter tracing cards shared in this post will
offer two ways of using the cards, so they can easily be
differentiated. Kids
will pick a card and begin tracing the letters to help the polar bear get to the finish line. They
are so much fun!

To prepare:
Print as many
cards as you will need for your group of students. You can print one
set and then split the cards so that each group in class can work on
a set of letters. Laminate the cards and then cut them up. Before you
cut up to separate the strips (the polar bear from its path line
tracing strips) – make sure that your students are able to match
the letter tracing strips with the letters on the polar bear first.
If they aren’t able to do this yet then just have them work on
tracing their letters.
Letter Tracing Activity Cards with Polar Bears
For the easier version, show
the students that they will be tracing the upper and lowercase
letters shown on the path strip. Have the kids pick a strip, say the
letter on the polar bear then begin tracing using a dry erase marker.
Once the group has finished you can
erase the strips and have a new set of students working on them.
For the more challenging version of
this activity, have the strips cut apart from the letter tracing
strips (guided cutting line shown on the strips). Allow the students
to match each polar bear letter card with its matching letter strip
and then they could begin tracing the letters. Keep going until all
strips have been completed. You can easily set up this activity again
and again!
