Can I use the Movement Action Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 2nd Grade learning games, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
What learning games are there for kindergarten and 1st grade?
⌄
Sight word bingo, roll and read, race board games for adding and subtracting, I Have Who Has card games, roll and cover, spin and graph shapes, roll a word family, a Veterans Day read and write the room, and red, white and blue addition and subtraction board games.
What do I need to play?
⌄
Most games need a die, crayons or counters. The race board games include game pieces to cut out, and the spin and graph game uses a paper clip and a pencil as the spinner.
How many children can play the kindergarten games?
⌄
Bingo and I Have Who Has work for the whole class. Board games are for 2 to 4 players, and roll and read can be played alone or with a partner.
How do kindergartners check their answers?
⌄
The race board games have an answer strip that a partner uses to check each answer, so children can play on their own in a center.
