Number Game

This is a game I used to teach 3 of my kids their numbers, they enjoy playing it and they learn something. First I take a poster board and divide it into 100 blocks and fill in the numbers from 1 to 100. There are many ways to variate on how you would play. We play with money (money is always good or small candies). I tell them a number and they need to place the money on that number, if they get it right they get to keep the money, if not they lose it. If they are a little older, I tell them," put a quarter on number 72," that way I can reinforce the names of the coins to them.
I have also done this with letters. It could probably be used with sight words also.
I like this game because you can play it while cooking dinner.

What a great idea! I've used a 100's board in my classroom with money to help kids count a specific amount. They have to put the correct coin on as they are counting.

What a simple way to teach numbers and keep the kids occupied so you can get stuff done.

This is a GREAT idea. Nicholas starts kindergarten this year and I want to make sure he knows his numbers and letters well. I'll make a numbers on one side and the letters on the other :)

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

Image
This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Father's Day Card

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
