Free Bingo Game 0-15 for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving!

This free colorful, fun math activity will help to introduce students to the concept of playing Bingo, or provide practice for proficient players. Great to play during fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving.
 
This game includes 3 pumpkin board templates, a nine grid, a twelve grid and a sixteen grid. Also included are little pumpkin calling cards 0-15, plus directions and suggestions for playing.
 
I've added little leaves, jacks and turkey pumpkins cards as an extra surprise to create some excitement. I used candy corn as my counters to mark the numbers and when a picture card is show each student gets a piece of candy to eat!
 

You will need to write the numbers on the pumpkin boards. 

 Another way to use this activity is to give each student a pumpkin and have them write the numbers in the various squares. For example, you assign the numbers 0-10 on the 9 space grid pumpkin. They use a pencil to write the numbers first, to make sure they have written them correctly, and then trace over them with crayon or marker.
 
This product can also be printed in grayscale to save colored ink!
When playing the game, students can trade cards for each different game.
 The children look forward to practicing their numbers and I get a good visual evaluation of their progress.
Enjoy!

New Activity, Free Back To School Bookmarks, Papers, Papers and More Papers

I love creating educational activities and products for children!
 
Being a former scrapbooker and cardmaker, sometimes I can mix the two ideas.
I have many lovely reams and bundles of papers!
Papers in glorious solid colors, plus beautiful designs, prints and
delightful holiday patterns!
 
When I created my newest activity
which is 50% off for 48 more hours,
I was thinking about all those different papers and decided to have some fun with them!
 This activity is a great way to practice number matching with a fall theme of pumpkins and leaves! Just laminate and use over and over every year!

 Introduce or review the concepts of number matching. This activity can be used, even if only a few number concepts have been introduced. Then add the other pieces as they are learned.

Great center or group activity too! Download Preview to see the complete activity.
 
The product can be printed in color
or black and white to save on ink!
I printed the black and white set on bright colored cardstock.
I also ran them on some printed design papers just for fun! 
I love the extra touch added to the activity!
Cute, cute, cute!
I found you need to be careful about the design or printed papers,
some children will be too distracted by the print, while others will learn to
focus on the activity and tune out the designs.
 
I have a new FREEBIE that I am sharing for Back To School.
Color, black and white or shades of gray to color.
Make every child feel special !
Enjoy!
 



International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

 
http://talklikeapirate.com
International Talk Like A Pirate Day
is a parody holiday started by the Pirate Guys, Cap’n Slappy and Ol’ Chumbucket. It is held annually held on September 19, this fun holiday encourages people to talk and dress like pirates.
 
 They state, "Before we go any further, there's something we need to be clear about. Pirates were and are bad people. Really reprehensible. Even the most casual exploration of the history of pirates (and believe us, casual is an accurate description of our research) leaves you hip deep in blood and barbarity. We recognize this, all right? We aren't for one minute suggesting that real pirates were in any way, shape or form worth emulating.

So what is it exactly that we're celebrating here, if not pirates? What, you're wondering, is the point? 
 The point is, there is no point. And that's what's fun about Talk Like a Pirate Day specifically, and talking like a pirate in general."
 
Ahoy Me Hearties!
Arrrr and shiver me timbers mates, I do have some pirate products to share.
The first is a FREEBIE! 
 
In my TpT Store they come with the words in a variety of colors.
 
A popular way to create special memento pictures of each student during the year! This set of frame attachments has Pirates.
 *NOTE: The sword can be cut away from the pirate's hand, if you would rather it not be there!
 
is a fun activity to see and write pirate language!
Celebrate Pirate Day with this Pirate Theme bulletin board set.

It includes 3 different size Pirate ship wheels to frame student pictures,
plus 20 scrolls with Pirate Speak.

The words are: Arrr, Ahoy, Me, Hearties, Mates, Thar, Be, Crew, Shiver, Timbers, Welcome, Aye, Captain, She, Blows, Booty, Treasure, Yo-ho-ho, Buccaneers, and Aye Aye.
Mix and match the scrolls to make a variety of titles or have the children use them in a creative writing activity!
 
You can't have Pirate Day without a
Pirate Hat!
There are three complete hats, each with a different skull picture on the front. Also included is a hat template page for tracing on colored paper and then adding one of three different skull designs.
