Learn how to write your name in Pig Latin
Words are changed to Pig Latin by taking the letter, or letters before the first vowel
(a,e,i,o,u) and moving it to the end of the word with an “ay” sound after it. If your
name starts with lets say Tr like Tracy, you would move the first 2 letters to the end.
Tracy would become (acyTray). Try your name by following steps 1-4.
1. Write your name on the line below.
2. Write your name on the line leaving off the first letter. (Billy would be illy)
3. Write you name without the first letter just like #2. Now, add the first
letter of your name to the end. (Billy would be illyB)
4. Write your name as in #3 and add ay to the end.
(Billy would be illyBay)
