Beginner Crossword Puzzle Using Color Words

Crossword puzzles are the world's most popular word games for children and adults!

This is a great product to teach the concept of crossword puzzles and review color words. It can be done one-on-one and in large or small groups.

The smaller the group being introduced, the easier to teach and observe while doing the activity. When working with a large class, depending on the age, it may be necessary to do it together step by step. You may need to do a copy of the activity along with them for all to see.

The first letter of each box is printed the color of the correct word, so the child knows where to start spelling the word. The student might notice that black and brown start in the same square, but the box is brown.

The color words are on the paper to help spell the words correctly. The numbered box is beside the word to help them locate the same square on the grid and the direction to write the word. A key is included.

Find this activity here:  
 
Enjoy this freebie page!

You can instill the love of using words, along with the educational benefits and maybe create a lifelong puzzler! 
Enjoy!

Fifty Nifty Days of Learning

50 nifty days of learning or 50 nifty days of school is cause for a celebration!
It happens about this time of year depending upon when you started.
I have two new products for this special occasion!
The first is a bookmark!
 
While it is a paid product in my store for all four versions,
I am posting two on here free just for my blog followers!
Enjoy! 
I have also added a song for the 50 days too! 
What a fun activity for the 50th Day of Learning or 50 Days of School!

There is a song poster, the number 10 poster and the letter posters that spell FIFTY. Also included is a cover sheet and directions. Each poster is 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

It is a great way to learn some letters of the alphabet and practice memory skills!

Assembly: Print the song poster, the 10 poster five times (if using) and the letter posters on heavy paper and laminate. The 10 poster can be printed out five times and placed back to back with the letter posters. Then they can be flipped during the song from the letter to the number 10.

Activity: Show the song poster and teach the song. Introduce the letter cards to go with the song. Pass the cards out to 5 students and as the letter is sung, the card is held up. Repeat until every student has had a chance to participate.

To make the activity harder, sing the song with flipping a letter to 10 for each verse and do a motion and/or sound instead.

For example, they sing F I F T Y for the first verse. Then turn the letter F over for the second verse and have the children sing and show ten fingers for 10 for the letter F. They would sing 10, I F T Y. The third verse would be 10, 10, F T Y. Do this until all the letters are turned over and the last verse is 10, 10, 10, 10, 10! The 5 number 10 posters add up to 50 and 5 sets of ten fingers add up to 50 fingers!

Download Preview in my store (link above) to see the complete activity.
 
Happy 50 Days!

How Pinterest Is Revolutionizing Your Child’s Classroom!


Over half a million education pins are posted every day. And through them, teachers are finding ideas, community, and newfound wealth. This article also talks about TpT and several TpT sellers!
“Teachers are looking to be more efficient, but also want their creative force to shape the things they use,” said Speicher. “So when teachers navigate resources, they tend to take them and modify them. They figure out how to make it on their own, with what they understand about their kids. I think that ethic — of inspiration and input, but also what’s configurable to you — is the right intervention for teachers.”

Great article to read!  https://medium.com/bright/how-pinterest-is-revolutionizing-your-child-s-classroom-4ccd4d59bbb9

Discount Marketing Strategy on a TeacherspayTeachers Product!


I’m sure that most of you already knew this trick, but I didn’t! How had I missed it!!! So I thought I would share…
I wanted to make a TpT Store product on sale with the line through the regular price and the sale price listed. I asked how to do this and a dear friend, Pamela Kranz answered my question.


Go to the upload page of the product you wish to edit. Put the regular price in the Price Box. Then put the sale price in the Bundle Discount Price. When you Submit and load the page it will show it discounted!

Easy peasy…....now!
