Default Using the rudder - practice drills?

Ok I'm just finishing my first gallon of fuel. I learned a bit on a electric foam powered glider - then bought a used LT40 and flew that till it got stuck 75' up in a tree.

Now I'm on an LT 40 type chinese no name ARF kit. I built it with about 3/4" of diheadral turned it into a tail dragger and it is powered with a Fox 40. I flew it for the first time today.

I do most of my turns with alerons and elevator and my rudder thumb isn't getting much practice.

I've been practicing touch and goes and landing aproches. I want to start using the rudder more to get a good line on my landings.

What would be a good rudder practice drill?
