Transportation

In my group right now, we’re having a month long transportation theme.  I found the idea for the first item while browsing the internet, but unfortunately don’t remember where I found it.  I’m in no way taking credit for the original concept of this game, but knew that I wanted to use it with this theme.

The first item is what I’m calling Modes of Transportation Front & Back 3-Part Puzzle Cards.  Each card has the middle section of a mode of transportation.  The player has to find the front and back of that mode of transportation to complete the puzzle.  Wouldn’t it be fun to make silly transportation too and swap out pieces??

Next are some transportation cards.  These can be used as flashcards, or used to play games like “Transport Me” (a transportation version of “Go Fish”) or concentration/memory, as well as many other things.  There’s also a storage box included.

Finally, I made a huge set of transportation letter tile mats.  There’s so many, that there’s 3 downloads!!  There’s also an answer key for some images that one might not recognize.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the parts to this transportation theme….

Dino-Mite Word Families

I’ve finally gotten back to my Dino-Mite printables.  This one is for the -ab, -ag, -am, -an, -ap, and -at word families. 

The word family is placed on the mat, then the dinosaurs that contain images of words from that word family can be arranged on the mat.  The kids can have as so much fun playing while they learn with this one!!

Froggie Flashcards

Yes, I finally have some printables to share with you all!!  It’s been a long stretch, hasn’t it??  I do apologize, but I just had no fresh ideas and things got super crazy busy.  Most of it was good times and it just left little time for me to focus on much else.

A nice lady in my PPoT group asked me to make her a set of flashcards for Pre-Primer Dolch Sight Words and for numerals.  She had this little frog in mind, but I had to see if I could find him.  I did and got on my way to creating!!

In addition to doing the 2 sets of flashcards that she asked for, I also did a set of number words.  These are just exclusively for all of you, my readers and followers, for sticking by me when my offerings were slim to none!!

The numeral and number word flashcards are both 0-25.  There are 40 Pre-Primer Dolch flashcards.  Also, if anyone needs a different grade level or more numbers….or any other type of flashcards, please just let me know!!  Use the “contact The Schoolhouse” in the right hand column or leave a comment and just let me know what you need.

Sequence & Pray – Our Father

Today on Commotion from the Ocean of Life, my “family life” blog, I posted a new Christian game.  It’s called Sequence & Pray – Our Father.  This is the Catholic version of the prayer.

If 2 sets of the cards are printed, they could be used for concentration/memory.  They can also be used to sequence the words to the prayer on the mat.  There are a number of other things that could be done with them as well as reciting the prayer.

If you’re interested in this printable sequence & pray activity, please just click the button below to get the…..

Frustration

So I’ve been working most of this week on just ONE game.  I have the thought in my head, but I just can’t get it put on paper.  I’m so frustrated.  I don’t know why I can’t get it to work.  I don’t usually have this problem.  I might struggle for ideas, but once I have them, they usually work out.  I feel like I’m starting to beat my head against the wall.

Worst of all, it was for Easter and I’m obviously not going to get it completed now.  Also, that left me without much to share with you all this week.  I do apologize and hope that I can get something new out soon.  Perhaps my game that I’m working on will just have to wait until next Easter!!

UGH!!

Easter Egg Alphabet Match

PHEW!!  A little hectic today, but I still managed to get something created.  It’s a little basic, but should still prove useful to many of my readers.

This is a set of cards that feature an adorable bunny and chick with their Easter eggs.  The upper case letter is matched to it’s lower case letter.  They could also be used as flashcards, to make words, or other things.  I also created a storage box to keep them in so that no cards get lost!!

Dino-Mite

I’m currently on Spring Break with my daughter and enjoying a little down time. My promise to her was that I wouldn’t be online during this time so that we can do whatever we want on a whim and just have a real break!!

I did want to be able to share this week though, so I’ve scheduled a couple blog posts so that you all can download some goodies while I’m off having a good time!! That said, I had a huge issue trying to upload my files to 4Shared, so if you go to download them, they may….or may not be there. If they’re not, please leave me a comment and when I’m online at the end of Spring Break, I’ll see if I can fix any of the errors.

The dinosaur lover in your class or at home should love these!!  I have Dino-Mite Counting, which has the player placing the numeral on the mat.  They will then place that many dino tokens on the mat.  Please note, there is a spelling error in the directions.  It says numBeral instead of numeral.  I don’t have the font on this computer, so I couldn’t fix it and I don’t have the time or access to do it right now.  Please just mark it out or when I return, I’ll correct it right away.

There’s also Dino-Mite Numbers, where the player places the numeral and the number word on the mat.  This strictly works on the skill of being able to match and correspond them correctly.  Both mats are for 0 to 25.

Clouds

I’m currently on Spring Break with my daughter and enjoying a little down time.  My promise to her was that I wouldn’t be online during this time so that we can do whatever we want on a whim and just have a real break!!

I did want to be able to share this week though, so I’ve scheduled a couple blog posts so that you all can download some goodies while I’m off having a good time!!  That said, I had a huge issue trying to upload my files to 4Shared, so if you go to download them, they may….or may not be there.  If they’re not, please leave me a comment and when I’m online at the end of Spring Break, I’ll see if I can fix any of the errors.

Today, I have a couple printables for clouds. The first is Layers of Clouds and it’s a mat to place images of the clouds in the appropriate altitude.  They are also labeled whether or not the cloud type has precipitation in them.  There’s also Types of Clouds Label Cards.  These cards have images of clouds and they have to be labeled with their correct cloud type.

I made these for my daughter, thinking that even through they’re somewhat simple for her age, she’d need to repeat the cloud types and layers over and over to get them down.  Her science book really focused on that this year.  I’m happy to say that she breezed right through and didn’t even need them, but I’m hoping that all of you can still benefit from them!!

Kiss Me I’m Lucky Party Pack

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

I created a party pack to help everyone with their St. Patrick’s Day parties and celebrations.  If you haven’t found what you needed in the store, or planned a last minute get-together, hopefully you’ll find what you need here!!  I broke everything down by topic, so you can find just what you need….or you can get it all.

In the “goody bags & gift boxes”, there’s a large gift bag and a gable box.  Print 2 of each and assemble.

You’ll find salt & pepper boxes, a french fry box, a hamburger box, and a hot dog container in the “food” pack.  There’s also a popcorn box that you’ll need to print 2 of, then assemble.

For “party supplies”, you’ll find napkin rings, a silverware pocket, and a banner.  There’s also a party hat and glasses.

There are Chapstick boxes and a sucker package “for the kids & goody bags”, as well as a boomerang and tri-boomerang.  You can also find a door hanger and mini-bookmarks.  Finally, there is a crayon box for 8 crayons and a pencil box.

Lucky Money

I took a break and tried to get my creative juices flowing again after all the madness of having something for everyday of the week for Dr. Seuss and the contest.  I’m ready to move on again and get to making things!!

I realized that I was running out of time to create for St. Patrick’s Day, so that’s what I got to work on first!!  This is a set of 2-part cards called Lucky Money.  The amount on the pot of gold is matched to that value in coins.  These go up to 99¢ and use quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies.

The coins are © US Mint.  Graphics and background © A-Manda Creation with permission.
