Today I used "magic bracelets" with the K's and first graders. They've been having a hard time with right and left directions. We all wore the "magic bracelets" on our right hands and everything worked much better. I'm also going to use them with my fourth graders, with whom I've just started recorder. They'll put the bracelets on their left wrist to help remember their left hand position. I bought those colored, sort of rubbery bracelets that come in packages.
