DIY Foam Dice

July 22, 2012 misskindergarten 64 Comments

 If you know me, you know that I l.o.v.e shopping and I l.o.v.e a good bargain! Like many of you, the Target dollar spot and The Dollar Tree are my favorite places this time of year! Look at this loot I recently picked up!
Isn’t it just scrumptious?! LOL
I am hoping to share with you what I plan to do with all of these goodies!
First up, DIY Foam Dice!
When I saw these foam cubes at The Dollar Tree, I couldn’t grab them fast enough! They are perfect for making your own foam dice! And at a dollar a bag, such a steal! Plus, foam is quiet. I like quiet! I also picked up the green basket because who can have enough baskets?! And my color scheme is bright pink, green and hints of black & white!
Here are the different types of dice that you can make:
Here’s a little tip…I found the permanent marker rubbed off the foam before it dried to be sure to create your dice over a scrap piece of paper and not on your antique table!
 {side note: I learned on Jeopardy the other night that the opposite sides of a die add up to 7! Never knew!}
 Letters and numbers. Great for sight word graphing games like {these}
 Rolling CVC words! Use one color for the vowels and one for the consonants. Download the roll-a-word mats {here}
Use them for word families! Download the roll-a-word mats {here}
Put the foam dice into the little basket {with ribbon of course!} and you’ve got yourself an instant center!
{for example purposes, I threw all the dice in together, but I would not do this for my class centers. Only throw in the dice that you need for the specific center to avoid confusion! ;)}
The possibilities are endless! What else can you make with the foam dice??

Sarah from @snippetsbysarah is a wealth of knowled Sarah from @snippetsbysarah is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to phonics and reading strategies! I love this strategy she shares to use with beginning readers who are struggling to blend cvc words in text. Encourage them to blend the first two sounds together first, then add the final sound. Make sure to follow her for more reading strategies and ideas! #saturdayteachershare

Here’s another fun way to work on reading fluenc Here’s another fun way to work on reading fluency! We love to use this one as a warm-up during reading groups. Everyone takes a turn rolling the die and reading the sentence as quickly as they can! 🎲

📚Fun fluency practice! Did you know beginning r 📚Fun fluency practice! Did you know beginning readers are much more successful with reading sight words when they see them in context? I shared a blog post all about how we work on our building reading fluency using these sight word sentences!

➡️Start by grouping the sentences by word family and as your students become more proficient, you can mix the word families together! Follow the link in my profile to see how we work on reading fluency during guided reading groups.

Have you seen these tap lights at the dollar tree? Have you seen these tap lights at the dollar tree? @teaching_linds colored them and had her students tap each sound as they sounded out the CVC words! This would also be an awesome tool to use with picture cards instead of word cards and have your little ones work on their phonemic awareness too! #teachersfollowteachers #iteachk #readandreveal
