Magnify the Nativity

Today is the 9th installment of Nativity A Day here on my blogs and I seem to be chugging right along with them.  I’m having lots of fun constantly coming up with ideas or going to my notes for ideas that I had for this nativity challenge of mine.

Today’s Nativity A Day freebie is a magnification game.  This time, I didn’t make the miniature images super tiny because I wanted it to be for a couple age/grade ranges.  Although my background is very dark, the miniature have large white boxes framing them so there’s no confusion.  My daughter was actually having fun with this one as I was making it trying to figure out which figure was which….without a magnifying glass!!  HAHA  So, I hope you and your kids like it just as much and fully enjoy it!!

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!!

Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids – Upper Case

My family and I had a movie marathon today.  In between times, I created this new game.  It’s Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids and works on the skill of matching lower case letter to the uppper case letter.

I didn’t place the upper case letters in alphabetical order on the game board because I know how well kids are at memorizing them!!  The player will place a lower case pumpkin letter token on the upper case letter pumpkin patch kid.  This should make for a fun autumn game and keep the kids busy for awhile!!

Here’s a collage of the some of the parts of this game…..

If you’re interested Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids, please just…..

If you use this ffg, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it and also, if you’d like to see a lower case game.  I’d appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).  I love feedback….thanks!!

Silent Consonants 3

This week, I’m going to be featuring a couple silent consonant games that I created.  It’s Friday, so that means that this is the last installment of the silent letter games.  This one features d, k, p, and t.  It’s called The Bees Knees.

All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

There’s really no rhyme nor reason to how I decided to make these silent consonant games. I just wanted to cover all of them so that the kids would become familiar with silent letters and be able to recognize them. These games are a simple sorting game. The words are to be sorted to the mat for the letter that’s silent in each word. There’s also a worksheet that accompanies this game and can be completed during or after game play. This will also help with pronunciation and spelling of the words.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the parts of this game….

If you’re interested in this final installment of the silent consonants games, please just…..

If you’re going to use this game 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 button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

Winnie the Pooh

 

 

In my group, we recently did an author study of A. A. Milne, which meant doing all things Pooh!!  I felt really creative with Winnie the Pooh and I made several items to go along with this theme.  And if you love Pooh, you of course, have to love all his friends too!!

Included in this Winnie the Pooh & Friends folder are “Pooh & Friends Letter Tile Mats”.  Kids can spell out each of the characters names.  There’s also some “Winnie the Pooh & Friends Cards” and a storage box.  These can be used for concentration, Go Fish, or even Old Maid as there’s an extra card to be the “Old Maid”.  You’ll also find a variety of Winnie the Pooh shape jigsaw puzzles.  These are great for any age and so fun with all of the favorite characters!!

I also made a board game or file folder game (ffg) called “Hundred Acre Wood”.  This one features Pooh & Friends in scenes on the game board with hunny pot spaces to add your own skill.  Can also just be played on family game night!!  This is a compete game with a die, player tokens, and blank cards with optional card backs.

You’ll find some “Winnie the Pooh & Friends Copy-a-Picture”.  What a fun way to work on art skills!!  After the picture is copied, it can be colored for added fun.  There’s some “Winnie the Pooh & Friends Complete the Pattern”.  These strips are in AB, ABC, AAB, ABB, AABC, ABBC, and ABCC patterns.  Finally, I’ve made “Pooh’s Hunny Pot Shape 2-Part Cards”.  Pooh is looking in his cabinet for his shape hunny pots and the shape word in the cabinet has to be matched to the shape hunny pot!!

Here’s a collage sample of some of the materials in this folder….

Don’t Forget Your Manners

 

I recently had Forgetful Jones from Sesame Street as a “theme” in my group to celebrate his birthday.  Since he forgot everything, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to create a game to teach and re-enforce manners.  This is a complete game with game board, cover, directions, tab label, and question cards.  There’s also a couple blank cards to add your own situation, question, or skill to enforce this topic.

Here’s a sample of some of the pages from this game….
