I hope you all have been enjoying your summer as much as I have! I love creating things for my classroom.
My latest is Pete's Shoes and Buttons. It is styled after the Chutes and Ladder games where you can move ahead several spaces or go backwards.
Children move their pieces around the board (my pieces are different colored bears cause well we are the bear class). If they land on a square with a road then they can groove on up the road to Pete's shoe and a new square. If they land on a square with a spiral then they follow it down to Pete's popped off button and a new square. The first one to reach Pete's heart wins.
Pretty simple, right?
Well to make it a more diversified game it can be played 3 different ways depending on the objective the child needs to learn or review.
Included with the game is a simple colored spinner.
1.Children spin, identify the color and move to that color on the board.
2. They can roll one or two dice and move the total number of squares shown on the dice roll.
3. Also included with the game is ABC and color cords. The child chooses a card from the top of the deck, names the letter or sound and if correct moves to the next colored square shown on his card.
Something for everyone!!!
And for fun I stored it all in a pizza box!
