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!!

Letter of the Week: Pp

The current Letter of the Week is Pp. There’s 2 brand new writing practice sheets in both fonts (ZB and DN) with penny and pen.  I also did the magnet sheets and found it a bit of a challenge to make them upper and lower case and look that way!!  For the magnet sheets, I used pine cone and popcorn. I hope that you like them!!

Fall Hay Ride

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!!

IMPORTANT UPDATE:  I created these for my Y!Group for our “letter of the week” for the previous school year.  Members started asking that I include a word list so that the kids can self-check themselves.  When I posted this, I forgot to include the word list.  It’s now included and while I was at it, I added several more word tile cards.  So if you’ve downloaded this, please download the new version so that you have the most updated file!!

Letter of the Week: Aa

Since school has started for most or will be starting very soon, my Y!Group has resumed with it’s “letter of the week”.  Since I create things to go with our current letter, I wanted to share them here as well.

Here’s a thumbnail collage of what I added to Letter of the Week this year…..

As well as the new items, the folder also contains the items that I made last year.  That includes writing practice sheets, Play-Doh mats, and a My Letter Aa Book in both fonts.  There’s also a set of letter tile mats.

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!!

CVC Words

Today, I’m offering Baited Words.  These are mats/game boards for CVC words and there’s 2 variations for this game!!

For version 1, the player will get a CVC object card and place it on the mat.  They will then use the fish hook letter to spell out that CVC word.

With version 2, the player will get a CVC object card and place in on the mat.  Then, they will place the CVC word next to the object on the mat.

Please be sure to download the corresponding printable pages that you will need for the version of the game that you’re using.  For version 1, download ffg mat 1, CVC hook letters, and the CVC objects.  If you’re downloading version 2, get ffg mat 1, CVC words, and the CVC objects.  All graphics © AnnieThingsPossible  with permission.  CVC objects believed to be from public domain.

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”).
