Numbers File Folder Game

Numbers

I simply took some scrap paper wrote 'Numbers' on it and taped it on the folder. This is how I titled all of the folders.

Inside the folder on the left I wrote the different activities there are for the folder.
Example:

Matching
Counting
Reading
Spanish

After Easter I had these egg shape/number worksheets left in the packets. I was going to throw them away then realized they would be perfect for number matching and color matching.

I outlined each shape in a different color. The double of this sheet I outlined the same shapes in different colors then the first sheet so the kids could not just match the number by color and giving me two different matching sets.

Then I made flash cards out of card stock. I wrote the number on the front and drew the number of circles on the back. Thus giving them number recognition and some counting practice. (Also a cheat if they can't recognize the number they can count the dots.)

I added the reading for numbers 1-20 in this folder as well.

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used: Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate. While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks. Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces. Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom. They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly. I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint. The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into. Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad. Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting! The squirting went on and on. I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue. Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them. With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used: Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets. I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back. I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too. Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet. One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
