Nativty UNO

Today is the 7th installment of Nativity A Day here on my blogs.  I hope that you’re enjoying it as much as I am!!

 

First of all, I have to confess that today’s freebie is NOT a new creation, but one that I made last year.  I completely love this game though and it’s definitely worth the re-share.  I’m busy today with making plans for my religion class, so I thought today would be the perfect day to update this game and re-share for those that have it and get it out there to those that don’t have it!!

Today’s Nativity A Day freebie is Nativity UNO!!  Our family loves UNO and ever since I made this set, we play this version often.  There’s not much to say about it except that it’s played like the UNO card game, but this one features adorable nativity figures.  It includes a storage box, all the cards needed to play, as well as directions and how to score.  I do recommend printing on card stock and laminating or using clear shelf liner (found at Wal-Mart, dollar stores, etc. in the kitchenware’s area).

Gingerbread Man Math Mat

I’m back today with another FREEBIE offering for Christmas!!  Yes, I’m on a roll.  I don’t know what happened, but I’m glad it happened.  HAHA  I had such a dry spell and now I’m ready to go and have plenty of ideas….now I just need the time!!

Today, I have some adorable gingers to offer in the form of a math mat!!  This mat can be used for addition, subtraction, greater than, equal to, and less than.  All that has to be done is to put the proper symbol on the mat, then add the gingerbread man tokens to each cookie sheet.  Just like that, a math problem/equation is made!!

Also, there’s 2 worksheets to accompany the math mat.  They can be used with the math mat or on their own.  There’s one worksheet for addition-subtraction and the other one is for greater-less than-equal to.

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.

Earlier this week, I shared a spacial (location) preposition book with you.  It featured Mr. Snuffleupagus and one of his favorite foods….cabbage!!

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

Location Prepositions with Mr. Snuffleupagus

 

This week, I’m going to offer a couple preposition items that I’ve been working on.  They will feature one of my favorite Sesame Street characters, Mr. Snuffleupagus.  Mr. Snuffleupagus is better known as Snuffy to most of us and his full name is Aloysius Snuffleupagus.  He resides in a cave, just off of Sesame Street and his birthday is 19 August.  He has a sister named Alice and lives with family, Mommy Snuffle and Daddy Snuffle.  There’s also other family members in the cave.  Snuffy’s best friend is Big Bird and his favorite foods are cabbage and spaghetti.

The first item that I’m sharing is a spacial (location) preposition book featuring Snuffy.  This book is all about locating where Snuffy’s cabbage is.  After reading the sentence and identifying the spacial preposition, the kids will write it on the line under the picture.

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

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!!

 

Today, is Bert’s birthday.  Bert is best known as the best friend of Ernie on Sesame Street.  He likes to collect paper clips and bottle caps.   Bert has a pigeon called Bernice.  He has a twin brother, Bart, who’s a salesman. 

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.

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….
