Make Your Own Thanksgiving BINGO

This activity is Thanksgiving kids table PERFECTION! In our family we love games! This isn’t exclusive to our cute crew. It goes beyond to cousins and even the grown ups! When I created this activity I had the idea that everyone would be able to play whether you’re a preschooler or a middle schooler. It’s also a great craft if you think about it. For each player to build their own personal board they have to cut and paste the images in the boxes they choose. This not only builds fine motor skills but also fosters some creativity as no two boards are likely to be the same. After gluing all your pieces on the board, you’re all set to play. To make our boards more durable and longer lasting I laminated them! This way we can swap boards and play longer! My cute crew LOVED playing as we anticipate Thanksgiving this week! One of mine, who shall remain nameless, wanted to make her board a challenge and decided to leave off the FREE space game tile. Players can win by getting 4 in a row either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally! To play you’ll need to have a “caller.” To

November 2023 Collection

November is just the beginning of the most wonderful time of year! This month’s collection leans heavily into Thanksgiving fun! I’ll admit I’m guilty of sometimes scooting pretty quickly through Thanksgiving in my adoration for all things Christmas! My hope is by creating a collection of engaging, meaningful, and FUN Thanksgiving resources we’ll all add in an extra sprinkle of Thanksgiving to our learning this year! I had fun writing the resources for you this month and as always, I can’t wait to hear what you think!  Practicing these short vowel words but make it turkey style FUN! This cute game includes a variety of practice word cards for all 5 short vowels and a set of mixed review. It’s a simple game but a great way to make fluency practice FUN!  Turkey Trot Read-A-Lot I couldn’t resist a turkey feather activity and parts of speech are just want we need review on! This activity combines coloring, cutting, sorting, and assembling to make cute turkeys with an intentional learning.  Parts of Speech Turkeys These gentle writing projects each month have been so perfect for my beginning writer. They’re engaging without being overwhelming. This month we’re using a beginning, middle, end

October 2023 Collection

October is here and so are all the fun NEW resources I’ve written for the month! October is one of my favorite months of the year and every year I just wish it would go by slowwwwly so we have all the time to enjoy it! This month’s collection is all things pumpkins, sweet treats, and PLAY! We’ll explore and learn more about bats and a brand NEW Discover + PLAY Science unit on the Skeletal system is coming next week. You won’t find any Halloween spooky stuff here – it’s just not my thing.  Do a Dot Pumpkin Shapes Do a Dots are an all-time FAVORITE for our youngest learners and I couldn’t resist giving a pumpkin take on shapes to put them to good use!  Daily Math Levels A & B Level A Level B We wanted to incorporate a little daily math practice in our day to couple with the math program we’re using. These are very basic skill reviews to keep concepts sharp. The Daily Math set includes 4 days worth of review half sheets per week. I believe it’s always good to include a flex day!  find the full collection here October Mini Journal These
