NO Lion....YES Lamb Math Game

Since we just had our first snowfall of the season and it's supposed to be 75 DEGREES!!! on Thursday, I decided to make this game a Spring theme.  I hope you can use this in your classroom.  It's sort of a math version of "sentence or not a sentence" game I've made before.  In this game, the students need to solve an equation and then see if the answer is correct.  There is a recording sheet to go with it!  Enjoy.

Penguin Making Words

I never seem to have a group of kids that like what the kids the year before liked!  So, the stuff I made for my last year's group isn't much of a hit,  but they are going nuts for "making words" kind of games, and I don't have very many of them.  So, I've made a few.  Here is the first one, Penguins Waddle and it has a recording sheet to go with it.

Fast Phrases Game

The Super Bowl is on, my lesson plans are done for the week and  now I have a chance to post a game I made.  I totally copped the idea from Heidi over at swampfrogfirstgraders.blogspot.com.  If you haven't had the chance to see her wonderful blog, hop on over and take a peek.  If I knew how to have all of the wonderful buttons like so many other blogs have, I'd have a button for Swampfrog as it's one of my favorites.  Anyway, she called the game "Left, Center, Right" and you play using cards that have sight words on them.  I remade the game using Fry's Fast Phrases.  The directions are with the download.  If you want the one with the sight words you can get it at Swampfrog.  Enjoy!

Odd Even Multi Purpose Game

I love math games that have many different concepts in one game, so I made this one.  I've given directions for addition/subtraction but this game can be used with almost all of the concepts we teach in first grade (and beyond).  I've posted many games on here, so you can always go back to some of the other games and get playing cards from them, especially place value cards.  Time and money can be used in a variety of ways!  So, I hope this is helpful to some.  I know my kids will love this as we've been working on odd/even with 2 digit numbers.  Enjoy!

Easy Beginning Subtraction Game

Here is a VERRRRYYYYY easy game I made for my kids that need support with beginning subtraction.  It's a roll and record that involves just 2 dice.  Each player has a die, throws it and then between the 2 they solve the subtraction math fact.  So if they roll a  4 and a 6, the answer is 2.  On the recording sheet they go to the 2 column and write 6-4.  They just keep working until they fill in the entire paper.  Later I will remake this with facts up to 10 and then to 20.  I know many have probably already covered this, but I hope it will be useful to some.  Using the dice method, the 6 column will not get filled in.  So, you can also use number cards 0 to 6 for this.
