Jump Frog Jump Color Floor Game

Make a game board out of blue butcher paper.  Make a square grid on the paper.  Mark one end Start and the other Finish line.  Place a set of colored bean bag frogs on the start line along with a colored dice (made from a mailing box 6 X 6).  Have children take turns rolling the dice.  As each child rolls the dice they identify that color and then find the frog that matches that color and moves the frog one square ahead.  See if they can predict which frog will win.  I like to use these types of games with the children, each child gets a turn but there are no winners or losers.   

Ladybug Dice Game

Make a ladybug out of construction paper, glue onto green scrapbook paper and laminate for durability. (I used scrapbook paper that looked like grass) Get a supply of black pom poms.  Have child roll a dice and identify the number on the dice, next have the child count out the number of black pom poms to match the number on the dice. Once child has the right amount of pop poms have child place them onto the ladybug. When the ladybug is full of spots child is done. With this dice game all children are winners.  You can exchange the dice for number cards if you like.

If you need to challenge some children have them use two dice and add them together, once child has added the two dice together have child count out that many pom poms and place them on the ladybug.

You can also use different styles of dice.

Letter and Letter Sound Train Game

This week we played a new game called letter sound train game.

A group of 4 children sat down at the carpet area and each child started out with the engine of the train.  In the middle of the group were box cars with the letters written on each one, I made 4 letter cards for each letter.  The letters that I chose were ones that we have been working on and are introducing them to this month. (Bb, Cc, Rr, Ee, Ss, Tt).  I created a letter dice with these letters on each side.  I used a 6” X 6” mailing box.  We also placed small items that would start with each letter sound.  For example (Bb, boy, bee, ball, bat).

Each child took a turn rolling the dice. The group identified the letter and then found the letter card that matched the letter rolled. If the next child rolled the dice and it was a letter that they had a letter card for then they had to identify the letter sound and then each child found an item that started with that letter sound and placed it above the letter train card. The children continued the game until all the letter cards and items had been placed on their trains.

This game turned out to be a big hit all the children wanted to take turns playing the game with one another.
