November 3, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

It’s the time of year when we start to see woodland animals in our neighborhood.

Down here in the South, it’s pretty common to see deer along the edges of the highway during fall.

Sometimes, we even see does and fawns cross the street in front of us. It’s pretty incredible.

As autumn closes in, I thought it would be a great time to share this printable woodland animals board game for kids to play!

To play this printable woodland animals board game, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)
Cardstock
Scissors
Double-sided tape
Game pieces (I used hedgehog mini erasers I got from Target, but you can use buttons, coins, counting bears, or any small manipulative.)

There are two styles of game boards: one with full color and one with white backgrounds.

Use either or both!

The game also includes a printable die.

After using scissors to cut it out, fold it along the lines and attach with double-sided tape.

You could also use glue or regular tape around the outside, but I find double-sided tape to be the easiest.

Then place the game pieces at the start and you’re ready to play!

Kids can roll the die to move their game piece along the board, moving to whichever animal they roll.

The first one to the finish wins!

Rescue the Shark Printable Battleship Game

July 9, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Long, hot summer afternoons are made for playing inside.

Well, that and ice cream cones.

As much as I love letting my kids play outdoors in the summer, we live in the Deep South. Which means that once it gets to around 1:00, the temperature is close to 100.

So it’s time to head indoors.

Which is where this Rescue the Shark printable battleship game comes in handy!

This is a fun and simple indoor game that you can let the kids play together. It only requires a couple of supplies and it’s sure to keep them entertained for a while.

So you can enjoy a glass of lemonade (or an ice cream cone) in relative peace.

Rescue the Ocean Animals Printable Game for Kids

If you’ve ever played the classic board game Battleship, this is basically the same idea.

Each player starts by folding their game board in half.

The top half should show “My Animals” and the bottom half should show “Their Animals”.

Then each player chooses spots on the “My Animals” section to draw their sharks.

The goal is to “rescue” the other person’s sharks by calling out the correct coordinates in which the other player has drawn them.

The first player to rescue all of their opponent’s sharks wins!

Teaching young children how to practice basic hygiene is a major life skill.

Which is why this English and Spanish hygiene Bingo game can help!

Five In A Row Printable Farm Game for Kids

September 30, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Farms are such a fun theme for early learners!

We got to visit an animal sanctuary a few months ago and the kids were amazed at how large many of these animals are in real life. Even a pig can weigh up to a few hundred pounds!

We’ve already shared some fun farm activities here, so I thought this low-prep five in a row printable farm game would be a nice addition for early ages!

This is an excellent activity when you’re running short on time and need to reinforce counting to five skills! Plus, you can use it at math centers if you laminate the boards.

Read on to see how to get your copy! And, for more fun with farms, pick up our paper bag farm puppets kids can make!

Printer (with ink)
Printer Paper
Scissors
Mini erasers or buttons (for game play)

This five in a row game works like a traditional bingo game.

They also choose where to place their game pieces. So it’s a fun way to practice strategy skills too!

The first player to get five farm animals in a row wins!

I loved printing this on AstroBrights paper, but you can also use white printer paper and let students color in the farm animals as they mark them off!

Printable Fall Memory Game for Kids

September 5, 2019 by Selena Robinson 3 Comments

Fall is in the air!

For us down here in the Deep South, that usually means high temperatures in the mid-80s. But I’ll take that over the high 90s anyday!

While the temperatures don’t drop too much, we do sense that the air is drier and cooler, which is a huge relief after a sweltering summer.

So I thought it was a great time to share this printable fall memory game so that the kids can start getting ready for autumn…when it finally shows up here.

This is such an easy, low-prep activity! You just print the product, cut out the cards, and you’re good to go. Plus, it would make a fantastic busy bag.

Read on to see how to get your copy free! And, for more fall fun with early learners, take a look at our printable Apple Counting to Ten Puzzles!

Printable Fall Memory Game for Kids

To use this printable fall memory game for kids, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)
Cardstock
Laminator (optional)
Scissors

This simple fall game features two pages of fall-themed picture cards with words. There are 12 different images with two cards each.

To add a little color to this game, print your cards on patterned cardstock.

The cards hold up better when printed on cardstock and the pattern makes it difficult to see through the back of the cards when they’re placed face down too.

Let the kids place these on the table and then race to see who can collect the most matches first!
