Five, Fast, & Fun: Open-Ended Games

I asked on my Facebook page what types of activities you wanted for the end of the school year. Many people responded with "no color ink and no laminating." Among some other responses that made me laugh! :)

So I created Five, Fast, & Fun! It includes 5 different games that all involve no color ink or laminating - which means no-fuss prep for you!



These are the games:
1. Cool Kites
2. Fancy Flowers
3. Summer Sandals
4. Beautiful Butterflies
5. Sweet Scoops

To play all games, you need a standard 6 sided die, crayons/markers, and glue. The directions are pretty simple. After the student answers a specific number of questions, he/she rolls the die and colors in the corresponding color(s) or patterns. The Cool Kites directions are shown below:


Give each student a copy of the following pages:


They color in a kite, cut it out, and glue it to the page. Easy peasy! They are great for groups - it gives the students something to do when it's not their turn. You can write words on the items for articulation/vocabulary practice at home too! Hope this helps with the end of the school year craziness!

Grab it HERE! Comment below and I'll pick someone to win these games on Wednesday (5/1)!
