Deck Your Holidays with a Deck of Cards

Anonymous — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:08:00 GMT

Give your students a holiday gift that keeps them learning!

I put my rhyming skills to practice with this little number:

"Your teacher is so smart

She wants you to do your part

For learning fame

Do a card game"

I typed up the rhyme and 4 card game directions.

I made 2 different versions: One set focuses on addition and subtraction and the other set includes addition subtraction and multiplication.

Attach a deck of cards to the game set and you have a gift for students to "Deck Out their Holidays"

2 packs of cards at Dollar Tree makes your gift only 50 cents per student.

The first 2 followers to deck my blog with a comment and their email will get a free copy!
Let me know also in your comment which version you prefer, the one with multiplication or without.

Trick or Treat Mats

Anonymous — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:10:00 GMT

After reading this I hope you never look at a doormat the same way! Can you believe that thanks to Dollar Tree I've made learning game doormats! They are portable, sturdy, don't need laminating or cutting and BEST of all are cute. All I did was write various language or math concepts on each candy corn with a sharpie. Take a peek of a few I've made. I also have sets for antonyms, synonyms, compound words, place value, and rounding. Grab a few mats and make some yourself!

I've made recording sheets to go with each mat and posted a couple for you.

Air Travel Vocabulary Interactive Game

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:06:00 GMT

I decided to create this game when I had a memory lapse earlier today, and I couldn't remember the word 'hold', meaning the compartments in aircraft (also ships and buses) designed to hold your luggage and other cargo. Isn't it just embarrassing and frustrating when that happens in class? You may also like these: http://acliltoclimb.blogspot.com/2010/03/

How do I find good educational games?

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 17:03:00 GMT

Ms Dorothy,
I have grandbabies coming into town for the holidays. I want to have some things for them to play with while they are here, but I want to make sure they are educational toys. Can you recommend somewhere that I can get things for them that will be good for their brains?

It is important to know that all play is educational. Children need to have open-ended toys that they can use to develop their creativity and imagination, so any kind of construction or pretending toys are good for their brains.

If you are shopping on the cheap, thrift shops are a great place to look for things you can have around that might get your grand children inspired to play. Re-using toys that other children have outgrown is a great way to shop green too!

On the other hand, if you are looking for new toys and games, go local and find small, locally owned businesses to buy from.

There are shops like Beyond the Blackboard that specialize in finding books and toys and games and teacher supplies for every age group that are educational and fun. Stores like this are ideal for finding the exact right gift for each child on your list.

Remember too that depending on the ages of your guests, the wrapping paper, boxes and ribbons will be the things they enjoy the most and learn the most from playing with!

“Winter Holidays” contains lots of interactives and games centered around Christmas and other winter holidays. Nothing very educational about it but lots of fun. Most of the interactives and games are played full screen with little or no ads. Great for primary students to use independently.

At a Hotel

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 08:59:00 GMT

Last year, I published a game on a hotel reception dialogue. The file hosting site I used for the game had lost or deleted it since. So, I decided to redo it slightly, added a vocabulary question, and here it is.Remember that for this quiz, if you provide your email address, the results (and the correct answers) will be sent to you. However, sometimes, the automatic emailing system does not work.

At the Airport: Putting Dialogue in Sequence, Matching, Jigsaw

Anonymous — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:30:00 GMT

My original posts on dialogue at the airport check-in and at the passport control have been rather popular, so I decided to improve them slightly here. They have been combined into one quiz, and a matching vocabulary exercise has been added, too. If you provide a valid email address, the results of the quiz along with the correct answers will be sent to it automatically. Both the dialogues can be
