Number recognition ice cream game is a great practice for all beginner math learners. It is a fun hands on activity that keeps kids engaged. My children like to eat and talk about ice creams, so they LOVED this matching game. Simply, print the cones and scoops on colored sheets of paper. It takes time to cut the cones and scoops apart, but it is certainly worthwhile. Learning to count is fun for your kiddos, with this counting game. It is a really easy way for kids to improve their counting skills. Children build ice cream cones for each number by adding the matching scoops. I made seven different types of scoops, with seven different ways to show a number: 1. Ten frame 2 . Dice 3. Objects (pencils) 4. Tally marks 5. Numerically 6. Number words 7. Fingers You can also use this printable to create a group of colorful ice cream cones that visually represents each number. If you haven'

Make Your Clip Cards - Step by Step
You can make clip cards ahead of time so they are ready to go… Click file, print, cut out... Fold in half... Place your document inside the laminating pouch. If the document is smaller than the pouch and I haven't got any idea, or time to make something needed in my classroom I usually laminate some sheets of colored paper. I use these laminated papers in many different ways, as bookmarks for example. But you can also write on them with a permanent marker and use them as labels for storage containers, folders etc. My favorite is DIY Write and Wipe Worksheets - You can write on them with dry erase markers and clean them with a paper towel when you are done. The only thing is that it's easy to smear the marker if you touch it, as it never seems to dry on the lamination. And voila! You have a great game.

Clip Cards - Precious Teaching Resourse
I am working as a primary English teacher. In the position that I was in this school year, without books, without resources for work, I was searching for some low cost ideas, that will work in my classroom. I made a tons of worksheets for my students. We made Fast Finishers Corner with these worksheets. It worked well, children loved it. I had worksheet after worksheet to check and I was so happy that my children are working with so much effort. I've been using a couple of old boxes for worksheet storage. They fit perfectly on our shelves and were the perfect size for holding our papers. However, they were far from pretty. It looks like this, not so pretty now. Meanwhile I didn't stop searching for better ideas...and I was thrilled beyond words when I found clip cards and task cards. Clip cards save paper. Instead of copying piles of worksheets, you need only copy , cut, and laminate the clip cards once and you can use them for years. I made my cards self-

Clip Cards - Colors
The addition clip cards were a huge success, especially with my kiddos, at home. That was the first time they had to use clothespins in a game. Then I saw the idea of self checking clip cards. It is far better... It is far better...This makes it easy for kids to work independently. Independent activities are boosting the children self-esteem and self-confidence. Building self-confidence is important for a child to grow up feeling happy and secure. To make the cards you simply cut around the edge, fold in half and glue it together. I like to laminate them , but it can be printed on a photo paper too. It is an easy to follow activity. All you need is a few clothespins. Pick the answers. Flip the card over to check is it correct.

Clip Cards - Addition
I realized that it is very useful to have an independent learning center in the classroom, with lots of task cards, clip cards! It is handy in encouraging students to learn independently. I am working on my own center. After I made my first clip card set I decided to fill my center with clip cards, because my students LOVE them. Have you ever used clip cards before? It is an awesome tool to keep children quietly occupied. An easy to follow activity, that you make ahead of time so they are ready to go… Add clothespins, paperclips or buttons depending on your preference or your students fine motor abilities. No matter what material is used to mark the correct answer when matching, fine motor skills are being strengthened. When little learners pick up small objects or open and close the clothespins, their fingers are working hard and developing the muscles needed for writing! The first clip cards I made were addition clip cards for kindergarten and 1st graders

Vocabulary Games and Activities - Growing Resource
I am so happy with these classroom games that I made with my students at the end of the year. We made three games Bang, Vocabulary Tower and A,AN Articles this time. We are planning to make more of them, so if you have some ideas feel free and share with us in the comment section. Each of these games are made for vocabulary practice, but you can change the content and practice whatever you want: math, science etc. My idea was to review this year's vocabulary and to prepare some activities for the future in the same time. My 2nd and 3rd graders really enjoyed making all those word cards, flash cards. We made tonnes of materials together, so we are ready for the following school year. Finally, we have attractively decorated cans for our favorite classroom games. BANG is one of my students favorite game. I am also playing it with my kiddos at home, all the time.
