Buzz ... buzz ... buzz ... the free membership printable this week is a bumble bee color match file folder game. I printed all patterns on cardstock paper and glued the color mats inside a file folder. I then cut out the color and color word circles and laminated them.

I made the game with twelve different colored bumble bees and included both color circles and colors words (in both black and white as well as color). I put self-adhesive magnets on the back of the circles to add a little weight to them so they do not slide around too much. They are also easier for the children to pick up.

In this activity children place the color circles on top of the matching bumble bees. They then take the color word circles and place those on top of the bumble bees. Once the children have mastered placing the correct color words on the bees we switched to the black and white version so they are not relying on the color of the words for matching.

Play continues until all bumble bees have been match. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday July 24th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where the bumble bee fine motor sheets are located.

The free membership printable this week is a bunny color file folder which is great for color recognition and review. I printed all the patterns on cardstock paper and glued the bunny sheets inside a file folder. I then cut the color circles out and laminated them.

I attached self-adhesive magnets to the back of the color circles and set them out along with the bunny file folder. If you do not have a file folder you can always tape two pieces of construction or cardstock paper together.

In this activity children pick a color circle and place on the blank circle of the bunny with the same color. Play continues until all colors have been match. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday March 20th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where the bunny shape tracing is also located.

The free membership printable this week is an owl color match file folder game which is great for color recognition visual discrimination skills. I printed the owl sheets out and glued them inside a file folder. If you do not have a file folder you can tape two sheets of construction or cardstock paper together.

I printed the color circles on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated the circles and attached self-adhesive magnets to the back. I set the file folder game out along with the color circles at one of our quiet activity centers.

Sea Shell Color File Folder Game

I glued the sea shells inside a file folder and laminated the loose color circles. I didn't put the sea shells in any special order in the file folder ... I just glued six on each side. If you do not have a file folder two pieces of construction or cardstock paper taped together can be a great substitute.

Umbrella Roll and Cover

Umbrella Roll and Cover File Folder Game For Preschool and Kindergarten

I made an umbrella roll and cover game for the children to use in our literacy center. I printed the patterns on regular paper ... cut them out and glued them inside a file folder. I assembled the dice by folding on the lines and making a box shape.

The patterns are blank so that you can use them for the skill sets you are working on whether that is numbers ... letters ... sight words etc.

In this activity children roll the dice and find the matching umbrella. They then put a cover-up circle on that umbrella using the same color circle as the umbrella.

Play continues until all of the umbrellas have been covered. Because there are six sides to a dice and twelve umbrellas each letter ... number ... or sight word is repeated twice in the file folder game.
