Witches Brew Rhyming File Folder Game - Halloween Freebie

A wonderful friend of mine (Hi Cindy!) reminded me about some freebies that I had shared last Halloween.  I'm so glad she did because now I can share them with you here on the blog *Ü* This file folder game is designed for young elementary readers.  Students match the rhyming words together.

If you download the file please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Beginning Sounds Clothespin Book - A Halloween Freebie

This is the final freebie in the Five Fabulous Frightening Freebies set.  With all of my clothespin books the students clip the pin onto the correct answer.  If you would like to make the books self checking, get a pack of the circle stickers (like garage sale price tags) and place a dot behind the correct answer for each before you laminate.  If you want to fancy it up a bit you can use theme stickers too.


To assemble clothespin books I punch a hole in each card on the top left corner and use a binder ring to hold them together.  If you are on a tight budget or you don't have binder rings, you can get plastic zip ties at Dollar Tree and those work pretty well too.

Mummy Math File Folder Game - A Halloween Freebie

My after school group loves the Magic Tree House series and around Halloween we read Mummies in the Morning.  I created this file folder game to practice their math skills while sticking with our mummy theme.  The skill practiced is three digit addition with no carrying - mental math.

Candy Contractions File Folder Game - A Halloween Freebie

I wanted to provide a variety of skills with the Halloween freebies so I'm adding a couple of games for older students as well.  The first of these games is a file folder game designed to reinforce the skill of contractions and their base words.  Students match the two base words to each contraction.


If you download this creation, please leave a comment.  It really helps me to know which games are more popular so I know what to create more of.  Thanks (c:

Pumpkin Pals File Folder Game - Another Freebie

What better way to kick off a new blog than to offer some fun freebies, right?  Well I think so too.  So, here's another great freebie for you.  Today's freebie is a favorite of mine.  I created it when I taught prekinders (oh what fun that was!) and instead of making a traditional file folder game I printed the pieces onto magnet sheets and used the game in our magnet center (which we had set up on the side of the filing cabinet).  The boys LOVED it and I loved how all of the little pieces stuck together so nicely.  If you opt for making a magnet game instead of a file folder game I would recommend storing all of the pieces in a large envelope (you know the kind with the nifty string closures) and attaching the cover image to the front of the envelope.


This file is once again added to Google Docs (gotta love free file storage!) so it will look a little grainy before you save it.  If you download the creation please leave a comment, I would love to know it's being used.

Halloween Number Center

I love, love, love Halloween.  It has to be my favorite holiday.  This year we have a special addition to our holiday fun, our first grand child was born just two weeks ago.  So, to say the least I've been a little busy with wearing the Grandma (MeMe actually) hat and not so much with the Creator hat.  But, I did have time to put together this very cute (if I do so say so myself) number center that I hope you will enjoy using with your little ones.


I have uploaded this creation to Google Docs since I seem to be having problems with my web host right now.  It's in PDF format so it should be easy peasy for you to download print and use.  If you have any problems with it, just leave me a comment and I will work on getting it worked out for you.  The download does look a little grainy with the google viewer, but it downloads nice and clean. If you download this creation, please leave me a comment.
