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.

Our first Letter of the Week is Aa.  This year, I’ve created magnet sheets and added 2 more writing practice sheets.  For the magnet sheets, I used apple and ant.  It was my first experience making these and it was rather fun!!  For the writing practice sheets, I used award and artist.  I did create those with both fonts….ZB and DN.

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.

To download the Letter of the week printables, just…..

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!!

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”).

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”).

Exclusive: Compound Hot Dogs

Ever so often, I plan to have an “exclusive” that I haven’t shared anyplace else!!  The main place that I share are my own Y!Groups or other ones that I’m a member of.  These “exclusives” won’t even be seen there!!

This stemmed from and idea that I had for my Y!Group, but I didn’t get it done on time.  Our theme was “hot dogs” and I knew I wanted something fun and unusual.  This is what I came up with!!  It’s a game for compound words, called Compound Hot Dogs. 

Each place setting card will have the image of a compound word.  The player will have to find the hot dog and hot dog bun with the 2 words that make up that compound word and place them on the plate.  This is a large set, but you only need to use as many as needed or the level of words that’s being worked on.  There’s also a worksheet to complete during or after the game….and the answer key!!

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

If you’re interested in “compound hot dogs”, please just…..

Please note that you will need BOTH parts of this, or you won’t have the complete game.  Either download is incomplete without the other!!

If you’re a hot dog lover, in need of compound word activies, or just going 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 to vote for my blog (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

Happy Birthday, Bert!!

To celebrate Bert’s birthday, I’m offering a couple of printables featuring our serious friend from 123 Sesame Street.  First is “Bert Label the Color Cards”.  These cards feature Bert’s face in many colors and each one is to be labeled with the corresponding color word.  There’s also “Bb for Bert” sorting mats.  Items are sorted by objects that start with “Bb” or don’t start with “Bb”.  There’s a worksheet that accompanies this game for when the sorting is complete!!

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

Travel Fun & Games

I know that summer is quickly coming to an end, but you can’t tell it by the temperatures here!!  There’s also lots of people out there taking their family vacations or visiting family and friends.  To keep the kids busy in the car, I’ve created a couple simple printable activities.

Last year, I made a Travel Bingo game where the objects can be marked off as you find them on the trip.  There’s also calling cards, that someone could use to call off objects or they could be cut apart and the players draw objects….until BINGO is yelled!!

There’s a set of Travel Word Games where words are made from travel phrases.  There’s 4 different ones!!  I also made 2 versions of tic-tac-toe with a travel theme.  Finally, there’s a set of maps to choose from to color the states (or countries) that you visit or travel through on your summer journeys.

I have 2 more games in the works, but I don’t know if I’ll get them done or not.  Well, I will, it’s just a matter of when!!  Just so many things going on right now and I’m trying to keep up with it all.  Please check back to THIS post to see if there’s an update for me finishing up creating them.  If it’s not posted by Sunday, then I got overwhelmed and I’m not sure when they’ll be complete!!

Here’s a collage sample of some of the items for travel fun & games….

If you’re interested in the travel fun & games printables, please just…..

UPDATE:  There is a new set of 9-piece jigsaw puzzles with a variety of cute and fun travel pictures.  There’s 4 puzzles in the set.

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….

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!!
