Winter Activities for Kindergarten

November 17, 2013 misskindergarten 9 Comments

We have one more week left in November, and then we get a whole week off for Thanksgiving break! I LOVE my job and my class a lot, but breaks are good for the soul! When we come back from our break, we are going to be immersed in all things winter! {Well except for the weather, thank goodness, because this Cali girl can’t handle the cold! Just ask my besties! ;)}
Literacy Centers
{the following activities are from my December Games and Centers}
Short Vowel Sort- we’re still working hard on the short vowel sounds! Students will read the words on the cookies and place them on the correct cookie sheet.
Miss Kindergarten {short vowel cookie sheet sort}
Snowy Sight Words- Students will pick a card from the pile and write the sight word on the correct line. They will also use these cards to play memory with a partner.
Miss Kindergarten {snowy sight words}
Sweet Sentences- building, reading and writing sentences with our high frequency words.

Skating Sounds- we’re still working hard with beginning sounds πŸ˜‰ The students will match the pair of skates by matching the picture with the correct beginning letter.

Catch Me if You Can- practicing ordering numbers to 20 and identifying numbers out of order.

 This activity is really fun! I choose a number card and read it aloud, while the students find it on their paper. Then I tell them which color crayon to use and they color in that gingerbread kid with the correct color. After we do this all together, I put this game in centers. Now a student is the “caller” and the other kids in the center color in the numbers. They love playing teacher!
Miss Kindergarten {gingerbread number identification}
Gingerbread Games- practicing before and after through 20
Miss Kindergarten {gingerbread before and after}
Snowflake Sums-solving equations and sorting them onto the correct house. This one is tricky!

Stop, gumdrop and roll- our seasonal addition game!

By now you know @applesandabcs is my best friend a By now you know @applesandabcs is my best friend and I just can’t help but share how extremely talented she is! I am lucky enough to work side by side with her as we run @targetteachers and @enchantedlittlelearners together and figure out how to raise and teach our two little kiddos in the middle of a pandemic πŸ€ͺ These sensory bins she created are an awesome mix of fun, fine motor, and learning and I love to use them at home just as much as I loved using them in my classroom!
