I have just been doing last names because one child asked me if
he could and now the rest are delighted to do theirs. I do the
same routine with it.

I also have sentence strips that I put a child's first name on
one side, their last name on the other, laminated and I use
these to dismiss at the end of the day. They LOVE it--sometimes
I do first, sometimes last and then we get silly and turn them
upside down, sideways, diagonal...it is a great way to get them
to recognize their names and the only problem I had was some
children reading all the names, so now they can whisper read it
if they know it, but they all know that everyone wants to read
their own name with no help unless they ask for help. It is a
great lesson in looking at more than the first letter or two.
