Swat The Old Black Fly Game

Old Black Fly game cards

     What happens when a kindergarten teacher walks into Dollar Tree and sees a giant fly swatter? She decides that The Old Black Fly by Jim Aylesworth needs to be read and a game needs to be made. So, because we are working on number words and revisiting color words, I made the Swat the Old Black Fly game. We have had a ball playing the game as a team game (I bought two flyswatters)
  So, run to Dollar Tree and pick up a giant fly swatter (or use the regular size) and print out, laminate and cut out the old black flies and play away!!

Our class is right in the middle of our farm unit and  they have fallen in love with pigs! So I decided to write a guided reading book that would be entertaining, but also teach a few skills. I hope you will enjoy the book as much as we did! Just click on the title to download.
