Waiting on Christmas

Are you ready for Christmas??  More than likely, the kids are!!  This is the perfect game to keep them busy while they wait for Christmas to get here.

Waiting on Christmas is a family game that will keep the kids busy at night or on weekends.  It could also be used in the classroom when work is completed or altered with the blank cards for a specific skill.

Players work their way around the board by rolling the die that’s provided.  Along the way, they may land on a present that could help….or hinder….them after they draw a card, read it aloud, and follow the directions on the card.  There are blank cards provided, so a skill could be added for practice during class.  Everything but the player tokens is provided with this file folder game.

Oh, and there’s a special area on the game board where the kids can write in how many days until Christmas with a dry erase marker (if the board is laminated or covered in clear contact paper/shelf liner).

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!!

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”).

Bible Showdown

I decided to go back to my creative “roots” today.  As some of you know, I got my start making games by creating Christian/religious games.  Sadly, I haven’t shared any since I started the new blog just for my printables.

The game that I’m sharing today is “Bible Showdown” and 2 player or teams play this one head to head.  This game was made in 2008 and I’ve never changed it because I was always really happy with how it turned out.  The 2 players or teams move around the board if they “know the verse” and “know the Bible”.  This game is definitely for the older crowd.  You can adjust it to suit your needs by making your own cards.

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

If you’re interested in Bible Showdown, please just…..

 

Please be sure to download ALL 3 parts of this game.  If you don’t, you won’t have the complete game!!  I’ve updated this game, so it’s just one big file now and although it might take some time to download, it should be easier to manage.

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

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….

Let’s Have a Luau

Summer is the perfect time to have a luau!!  I’ve created several printables that can be used in the classroom or at a party. 

This set includes several puzzles with various number of pieces.  The main object of the puzzles is a tiki.  There’s also an old Hawaii map postcard and other luau related items.  There’s also a full set of cards that feature tiki art and they can be used for memory/concentration with a storage box.

There is also a Tiki Tango Game.  This is a game that can be mounted inside a file folder and used as a file folder game or it can be laminated together and used as a game board.  It’s a word game with all the words having –ANG- in them.  It includes the cover, directions, tab label, die, player tokens, and game board.

Here’s a collage of just some of the luau/tiki items available ….

Tiki art from internet sources.  Box background from Vecteezy and tiki head from Creative Clips.

If you’re interested in these tiki printables, please just…..
