I recently encountered a �fun� writing technique , I was supporting some yr 7 students learning some very basic �Chinese� characters.
Firstly desks tops were covered in cling film and shaving foam was sprayed on to it. The children had tremendous fun copying out the �characters� displayed on a white board.
This method could certainly be utilised for any form of writing activity.
Also a good tip for creating mini white boards for children to use is to take a A4 plastic wallet with a plain white piece of paper inside it, and then use white board marker pens to write on them .
The only other equipment required is tissue paper or cloths to wipe with.
I seen these �white boards� used very effectively in Maths lessons
