Sight Word Roads

My preppies have been working hard on expanding their bank of sight words. My boys in particular love anything to do with cars, roads and maps so I made this activity with them in mind. There are 5 maps with roads/paths on them. On each road there are a number of blank stop and go signs. I laminated each of these sheets and then  I choose 3 sight words and write them on randomly  on each of the signs with a sharpie (they wipe straight off with a magic eraser!). Because there are only a few words and lots and lots of signs, it gives them a chance to really reinforce each word. I bought some tiny cars from the $2 shop and my boys (and some of my girls too) drive the cars around the maps, stopping at each sign to say the word. It doesn't matter how many times I get this activity out, it is always popular.

Mickey Mouse Basic Addition

Image
My kids are MAD about Disney at the moment. They have been painting all of the Disney characters and love the Disney music that I play in the room. My preps are starting to become much more confident when adding numbers together up to 10 but I wanted to push them a little bit more to see how they would go to 20. To keep with their Disney madness, I made this game up using their beloved Mickey Mouse ears. The head piece has a numeral on it and there are separate ear pieces which have white dots on it. Their job is to place Mickey's ears on the head with the correct number of dots. Hopefully they will really enjoy this activity. Click here to open

Number Pattern Cards to 100

Image
I made up a heap of laminated number pattern cards for my year 1s to practice counting forwards and backwards in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s to and from 100. So far they have been a really popular activity in my classroom and some of my preppies are even beginning to have a go at some of them. The kids really enjoy the coloured cards and laminating them allows the kids to reuse them over and over. They are actually becoming much faster at filling them in - we even have races to see who can fill in the most cards in 2 minutes. Click here to go to my TPT Store

Alphabet Color by Letter

Image
These color by letter sheets are always popular in my classroom... I have them readily available as fast finisher activities and I offer them during "center" time. My kids love to color them in at the drawing table and since we don't do homework (we just do home reading and sight words), some of my keen students like taking them home to do while their older siblings do their homework.
