File folder games are fun for me to make and fun for the kids to play! I think of the game on my own and put them together with cutouts (usually from the Dollar Store) and scrapbook paper. These are great for centers, early finisher tasks, partner work, and "smart choice" activities. Sometimes I let the kids check one out and take it home for extra reinforcement on concepts!
First, here is the shower caddy turned file folder holder that I made!
I weaved ribbon in and out of the squares to give it a little spunk!
I am posting pictures of some of the games I have created below! The first game is titled,
Don't monkey around! Learn your proper nouns! Match the proper nouns on the circle cards to the basic nouns on the board (state/California, place/Disneyland)!
Next up is,
Soarin' Synonyms! Find synonym pairs and match the rocket with the star.
Hoppin' Homonyms! Read the sentence on the lily pad (The wind ________ my hair ) and place it on the frog that has the correct homonym spelling (blew)!
It's Party Time! practices the parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb, pronoun, etc.) Read the sentences on the board and match it's underlined word with the cone that has the correct part of speech!
If you have any questions about the games, leave a comment! I have a few more in the making and will post when they're done!
Oh my gosh!! Sarah these are great!! What lucky 2nd graders! These games look like so much fun :)
