Halloween Freebie

Are you looking for a quick game to use in a Math Center or during a party? Try this "Halloween Tic-Tac-Toe". There are several ways to play....as they win, the kids can collect "candy" and count how many times they won. OR use the "graphing score card" and the first player to the top is the winner. Or for those who can use Tally Marks, score can be recorded with tally marks and students count the score, then add up how many games were won in all. If your students are equally matched at Tic-Tac-Toe, a fun way to play is PLAY TO LOSE! This requires a different way of thinking...the first player to GET 3 in a row is the loser and the other player gets the point. That would be interesting to watch! ;-)
I hope you can use this and your kiddos have fun!

Handy Crabs

I thought I'd share this oldie but goodie... We are learning about Sea Life in Kindergarten. We created an "ocean mural" in our room and as we learn about different animals, we make that animal as an art project to add to our mural. This is how we made our crabs: I use red, orange or combine red & orange paints to give our crabs some variety.

Paint hands and place on paper like this

After it is dry, use marker to outline crab. Cut it out!

Sometimes the kids accidentally cut off a crab leg, but we don't worry because crabs can lose a leg and eventually grow a new one! ;-)
