Spooktacular Roll – N – Cover

This is made from the same Halloween scene that my other “spooktacular” printables originated from. This one is a roll-n-cover game.  The players will roll 1-2 dice and cover the number that they roll on the board.  Items such as stamps, candy, stickers, erasers and so on could be used.  They could also just color in the space with the number that they roll.

Spooktacular Jigsaw Puzzle

This is made from the same Halloween scene that I talked about yesterday. This one is a jigsaw puzzle though.  Since it’s not extremely scary, I made it with few enough pieces that smaller kids could play too.  The spooktacular puzzle has 9 pieces!!

Spooktacular Strip Puzzle

I was playing around and put this scene together.  Then I found a background that fit the scene perfectly.  I tried to think about what exactly I could do with it.  I decided to stick with the basics and just make a strip puzzle.  This puzzle is counting by 5’s and is not only a spooky scene, but has spooky numbers too!!

Fall Hay Ride

Please don’t forget to enter my first ever give-away. I’m offering a choice from 1 of 3 FREE educational printables to all those that enter. On 29 September, there will be a random drawing for the grand prize of a $10 gift certificate to A-Manda Creation who offers scrap kits for personal use!! Amanda is sponsoring this give-away and also donated the kit “Time to Rhyme” for me to create the printables. If you’re interested in entering and winning the grand prize, please go here to see how!!

 

What a week!!  It was a little crazy….good, but crazy and it’s about to get even more so.  Kiddos birthday is this week and her party is next weekend.  I got so wrapped up in everything this week that I totally forgot to post anything!!  HAHA  Now the question is…what to share!?!?

I think that since today was the first day of autumn, I’m going to take you on a Fall Hay Ride.  This is a blank or generic file folder game (ffg).  You can simply use it as a board game, or you can make your own skill to play the game.  It’s a very basic game, so you can create your own rules, skills, or whatever you need to play a fun game!!

Here’s a thumbnail collage of Fall Hay Ride…..

To download this ffg, just…..

For a bonus, I have  Fall Friends, which I don’t think I ever shared.  They are strip puzzles that I found it in my files as I was looking for the game that I’m sharing tonight!!  As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback on the materials that I create. Also, I’d love it if you’d vote for my blog by clicking the button below….thanks!!

A 4th of July Gift

Today, I have an “Exclusive Reader Gift” for the 4th of  July!!

I made some Star Spangled Number Puzzles.  These are all items that one would probably see either on the 4th of July or affiliated with it.  These puzzles are for numbers 0-25.

I also made several jigsaw puzzles.  There’s some antique ones that are 8 and 12 pieces.  There’s also 2 each of some really pretty 4th of July images that I found.  Those are 24 and 48 pieces.

Here’s a sample of some of the items….

If you’re interested in this “Exclusive Reader Gift”, please just…..

Doodles ©  Kate Hadfield Designs at The Lilypad.  Clipart Katie ©  at Just So Scrappy Too.  They are used with permission.  All other images from internet sources.  They are believed to be public domain and are used without profit for educational purposes only.

As an added bonus, this folder also contains 5 files that I created last year.  They’re all a fireworks theme and perfect to go along with this Gift to my loyal readers….and my new ones too!!

I’m working on another project to share as part of this Reader Gift.  I don’t know when it’ll be completed.  I think it’ll be worth the wait though!!  So, please check back to this post for an update to let you know when it’s available!!

If you’re celebrating the 4th of July….or going use these games for your homeschool, classroom, or other location, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the buttons below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

 

 

 

UPDATE:  I was able to finish my other Reader Gift.  I’m happy with how it turned out and I hope that you can use and enjoy it as much as I did making it.  My last item is Patriotic Word Writing Strips.  I made them with a tracing font, but they could also be used for a word wall as well.

Let’s Have a Picnic!!

July is National Picnic Month.  It starts off the perfect way and the perfect time for a picnic.  And that great start is Independence Day!!  What’s better than celebrating the 4th of July with a cookout or picnic by the lake.

I’ve created a couple items to help celebrate National Picnic Month and get us ready for bbq-ing this summer and church picnics!!  First, there’s Ants on a Picnic Number Mats and we all know how pesky those ants can be!!  Ants are sorted onto the mats by the number indicated on the picnic basket.  You won’t be annoyed by these cute little ants though!!

Next, there’s 2 sets of Picnic Alphabet Writing Strips.  There’s a set for upper case….and a set for lower case.  I also made a sequencing puzzle called Sequence Teddy Bear’s Picnic.  It’s made from an adorable picture and they place the strips in order to complete the puzzle.

Finally, there’s some shadow matching cards.  These are What’s in the Picnic Basket? Shadow Match Cards.  There’s an image on the plate and it must be matched to the shadow of that image on the picnic basket.  What do you think it inside the picnic basket??

Here’s a sample collage of some of the pages….

If you’re interested in these picnic printables, please just click for each one below.
