October Fun

Happy October! A month of ghosts, spiders, witches, .... plain old Halloween fun. I love making my centers, seat work, and interventions around a theme. For example, we still need to practice our math facts but I redo the game sheets with Halloween characters.

Plus One and Minus One Cover Up

Directions: Only one die is needed. Roll the die and follow the directions by the title name of the game mat. For example, “Plus One” would be to roll the die and add one to the total. Cover any answer that corresponds like in Fast Fact Speed Roll. The first student to get five in a row wins! This can be played in groups of 2 - 3.

 

If you want more of these activities, I have an entire Halloween Unit for sale on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Happy Halloween on TPT by Amy Padgett Creations

I have learned that my students get more excited to learn when I have use a theme! Yes, it is a simple change, but it's all about getting students excited about learning, right? Well, here is a simple way. Add simple clipart to a routine worksheet. Write a short story about holiday characters working on the needed skill. Think like a kid - make it fun and simple. Enjoy!
