Free Thanksgiving Addition Game – Turkey Trot Addition

ByErin October 26, 2016January 4, 2020

We have a tradition on Thanksgiving where I print out activities (like this Thanksgiving Addition Game) and the boys have something to entertain them for that hectic 15 minutes while we are finishing the food and putting it on the table. The challenge for me is to create something that is entertaining enough that they…

Doubles Addition Game – Frankenstein Addition Practice

ByErin October 4, 2016January 4, 2020

You want them to memorize their addition facts and they want to play. Just imagine if there was a way to do both. Ah but there is! Making addition fact practice a game can entice them to play and learn longer! We’ve done our fair share of addition games (St. Patricks Day Make 10, Finding Dory,…

Multiplication Game of Strategy and Fun: HoliMaths

ByErin September 13, 2016January 5, 2020

Multiplication is one of those topics that we come back to again and again. For some reason, memorizing his times tables is the bane of Baloo’s existence. We don’t necessarily push it too hard, but I do think it is important. Having your multiplication tables memorized makes higher math so so so much easier. I…

For the longest time, 10 Apples Up On Top has been one of Logi-Bear’s favorite books. I have it memorized (and then some. I could have memorized it in another language at this point). All in all, it’s not a bad story. Just very repetitive. I do believe in the importance of repetition in books…

Engaging Game for Beginning Readers: BOB Books Happy Hats

ByErin August 10, 2016January 5, 2020

I am a big fan of anything that makes learning to read a bit more fun and engaging. Reading is so challenging but so totally worth that, and many kids can see that from the beginning. Logi-Bear wants to read so so badly and he tries so so hard, but I still want him to…

Finding Dory Addition Game

ByErin June 20, 2016January 5, 2020

The first thing I heard when I woke up Friday was “Finding Dory comes out today!!”. I honestly don’t know how they knew. We don’t really watch TV. Or YouTube. Or anything with commercials. I suspect it was my mother (who is way more excited for Finding Dory than anyone else in existence). Still, surprised…

Christmas Cookie Sight Word Game

ByErin December 7, 2015January 5, 2020

I wanted to create a fun sight word game just for Christmas. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, I took some inspiration from the Popcorn Game. But instead, its Christmas Cookies! I’ve provided all the printables – including the strip to cover a can! Or you can just use a regular cookie jar! Here’s…
