Teach students how to use just the right amount of glue with this free August Back to School Glue Practice Sheet! Students place a small dot of glue on each dot, then the teacher sprinkles glitter over the page for a fun visual reminder that a little glue goes a long way.
Start the school year by explicitly teaching students one of those little classroom skills that makes a BIG difference with this free August Back to School Glue Practice Sheet! This simple activity helps students practice squeezing a controlled dot of glue instead of using too much.
Students place one small dot of glue on each printed dot on the glue bottle. Once students have finished, the teacher can sprinkle glitter over the page. The glitter sticks to each glue dot, giving students an immediate visual of exactly how little glue they actually need.
The page even includes the perfect reminder: “A little dot will hold a lot!”
Use the finished sheets as a reference when students begin using glue independently throughout the school year. It is a simple August Back to School activity that combines classroom procedures with hands-on fine motor practice.
