Race and Build

This game is called “Race and Build!” It’s a very simple and repetitive game, but my kiddos always loved this game. Our transportation week was during the time when we had just started our numbers. This game works on recognition of numbers 3 to 5, but you could easily practice with larger numbers.

 

How to play:

Each kid needs a race and build mat and one race car set. They will share the cards because it is a partner game! Students take turns picking a card and reading the number. If they can correctly identify the number they may move their car up on the corresponding column. If they get a flat tire, they move back one space.  Whenever their car makes it to the top of their grid they add a piece to their race car and that car starts over at the bottom again. The race cars are a sticker sheet. All they have to do is peel and stick the decals onto their cars!

 

Here are the race car sticker sheets that I bought.

Here is a copy of the game if you are interested. I included a blank version if you want to program the game for a different set of numbers. Please remember to comment/rate my project if you download.

Transportation Sight Word Practice

Sight Word Practice

This game was created to practice two sight words (our sight words of the week). One of my fabulous teacher friends (Shout out- Tarren!) went to a conference where they spoke about repetition with sight words. (Duh, right. Kiddos need lots of repetition and practice!) After that we starting making more games with just a few sight words to give our kids extra practice with our sight words of the week. I loved that they had to say the words over and over! The kids enjoyed these simple games to because they weren’t overwhelmed by many sight words, especially my kids who struggled with sight words. This isn’t to say we didn’t play games with all of sight words because we did. This game was part of my transportation unit. Our words that we were practicing were see and in, but you could use any two words that you are working on. I am including a blank copy and a copy with the words already typed in.  We used matchbox cars to play this game, but I found it was easier to play with these little foam cars because they didn’t roll on the lamination!

How To Play: Each kiddo gets one race track. Each pair gets two trophies. Each kiddo will need two cars! Students pick a card, read the card and move their car accordingly. If they don’t know the word, they ask their partner and put the card back, but don’t move their car. If they get a pitstop card- they move their car back one spot! Whoever makes it to the top of their race track first wins a trophy!

 

These trophies can be found in the Walmart party aisle, but I’m an amazon lover! Amazon Prime= free shipping! Here are the ones I bought!
