Christmas Candy Word Wall Cards

Today’s freebie was a request that I received.  This person needed a set of Christmas word wall cards for her classroom.  When I asked her with words she needed, she asked if it would be possible to leave them blank so that she can put in the words that she needs.

I did just that!!  This is a set of blank editable word wall cards.  There are 2 sets and both have a Christmas candy frame.  You just type in the words that you need and print, or print blank and write them in yourself.

Who Stole Santa’s Elf?

This is a card game for getting acquainted or just having fun at home, in the classroom, or even at a party!!

The game can be played with 2 or more players.  The more players, the more sets of cards that will need to be printed.  You can also print more than one set for 2 players to make the game last longer.

Players are dealt the cards and they’re placed in a row face down in front of them.  The game is played to the chant of “Who Stole the Cookie?” and has the same basis.  If the player doesn’t have Santa’s Elf, they say “NOT ME” and play continues on, one player at a time.  If they do flip it over, they say “IT’S ME” and the game ends, unless more than one set of cards is used…..then play continues until the last Santa’s Elf has been flipped over.

This idea is not my own.  I got the inspiration from Super Silly Songs and their “Who Took the Cookie?” activity.  Please be sure to check out their printable activity and stay tuned for me to create another version similar to this one!!

C is for Cookie Monster

A few weeks ago, my group had the theme of Cookie Monster.  I started some alphabet memory cards, but never got them finished.  I ended up not sharing anything for that theme because my creative juices weren’t working.  Well tonight, that changed!!

I not only finished the alphabet matching/memory cards, but I also created 3 additional items for Cookie Monster.  He’s such a fun character to work with!!  So what did I make??  First, there’s the alphabet matching/memory cards.  They will match the upper case letter with Cookie Monster to the lower case letter on the cookie.  I have to warn you that this font was a little funky and some of the letters don’t look quite right or are harder to identify like the lower case “j”.

I also made Cookie Monster Tic-Tac-Toe and I’m really happy with the way this turned out.  The game board is a Cookie Monster background and the tokens are 2 different cookies.  Next, there’s a set of Cookie Monster Label the Color Cards.  I’ve shared similar to these before.  Cookie Monster’s adorable face is imposed on different colors and they must label each with the correct color.

Finally, I made Counting Cookies with Cookie Monster.  This is a set of 3-part cards.  They will match the number of cookies, the number word, and the numeral that Cookie Monster has.  I did these with numbers 0-20 so that you can expand what you use with the kids as they progress.  I wanted to do to 25, but I just didn’t quite make the cards big enough or the cookies would have had to be tiny.

Here’s a peek at some of the pages….

An Update

Please go to this post at my family blog to find out why I’ve been missing in action and not posting as many free printables as usual.  I figured it would be easier to link up there than to try to type it all out again.

Because of the crazy week I had, I wasn’t able to get my Letter of the Week materials created or updated.  If at all possible, I’m going to work on it this weekend, but time will tell.  As soon as things smooth out, I promise to get back to creating and sharing.

Thanks for standing by and continuing to follow along.  I appreciate you being here and waiting for new new printable!!

The current Letter of the Week is Cc. The all-new writing sheets have corn and cab as their words and they’re in both ZB and DN fonts.  The magnet sheets are for cactus and cake.

The letter Cc folder also contains the printables that I previously made for Letter of the Week. You’ll find the My Letter Cc Book in both fonts. There’s also writing practice sheets and (Play-Doh) mats in both fonts. Finally, there’s a set of Cc letter tile mats, which currently aren’t available.  I still need to update with the word list, so please check back to this post and check for an update on the status of the letter tile mats.

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!!
