A Christmas Presents Game Freebie Revisited

 

Christmas Presents Game

This is one of my student's favorite games, right now you can find the tiny bows very cheaply! Have a wonderful Christmas break!

Another December Math Game (Cheap and Quick!)

Zip on over to Dollar Tree and pick up 3 of these games. You will need 2 gameboards and 15 snowmen and 15 gingerbread men.  (There are only 14 of each in 2 packages). I will save the extra pieces from the third package, just in case one or two gets lost.

Just as in the Presents game I posted yesterday, you can add or subtract with this game. I bought this same type game in October in the shape of candy corn and it was a big classroom hit. Stay tuned, I am trying to design lots of great December games to review math concepts we've covered since the beginning of school.

Looking Ahead to December ( A Freebie for You)!

Christmas Present Game 1

Christmas Presents Game 2 

I am not usually one to rush the holidays, but I have seen, bought and downloaded so many wonderful Thanksgiving activities that I decided to look around Target and Dollar Tree to see if they had put out any neat Christmas things that I could use to make Christmas workstations. So far, the pickings are slim but I found some cute mini bows and I made a Presents game. I love these games, they can be used to add or subtract.  Each student will have 20 bows and a gameboard. To subtract place a bow on each present and roll to remove. For adding, place the bows on after a roll of the die.   Just download the gameboards, laminate them, use mini bows or you can even dye some bow tie macaroni to use as bows.  The students really love these games.
