Space is one of my favorite theme
weeks. Our space unit fell during the 5th week of school so most of
these games are fairly simple since we were still learning how to play with
others and learn the rules of Kindergarten!
We had been working on our color
words, so my first game is a simple, roll and color game!
Alien Colors: <---- click here to get your free copy. leave me a comment if you download.....pretty please!
How to play: Each student gets a
paper. Students share a color key and dice. Students roll the dice, look at the
key and color the alien to match. Very simple game, this one was great for
students who may have finished another game earlier and needed a quick game
while waiting for classmates.
My kiddos LOVED this game!!! : ) It
was so simple and we were able to play over and over!
How to play: Play this game in
partners. (I don’t like to have more than 3 kids in a group.) Each student gets
a rocket launch pad. They need one set of sight word cards with breakdown
cards. Students pick a card, if they can read the card they put a unifix cube
on the launch pad. If they can’t read the word, they ask their partner and put
the card back. If they get a breakdown card they take a piece off their rocket
ship. (They are just stacking unifix cubes vertically- it doesn’t really look
like a rocket ship, but they looooovvveee it.)
