FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Distance Learning Minute To Win It Word Games for Kids To Adults”

by Margo Gentile
2nd - 12th Grade


Get the gang together and play these fun timed reading relay games! Easy, Moderate, and Challenge levels for all ages. The phoneme focus is found in the game title. "In the Bin" is about words containing "in". "Spill and Fill" has words containing "ill" and "Feed with Speed" has words with "eed". If multi-ages are playing together, I have made suggestions for "even-ing out the playing field".

Hilarious when everyone tries to beat the minute clock and do as much as they can within that time.

Word lists, decorative templates for covering/labeling containers, templates for

word cards, directions are provided.

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Kid-Maker Playdough Mats - Create An Experience [FREEBIE]”

by The Teacherly Life
Pre-Kindergarten - 4th Grade


This product is a sample of larger Kid-Maker Playdough Mat products. The theme of this FREEBIE is "pool party". You can use this mat to also talk to your students about the importance of pool / water / swimming safety as they head off for the summer.

Playdough is a great activity for small hands to reinforce and strengthen developing fine motor skills. Your students will love filling in and creating objects to correspond with the theme on their mat. Each mat is on an 8.5 x 11 page and includes a colourful background to enhance creativity. The mats can also be printed on an 11 x 17 page by simply changing the settings when you go to print.

These mats can connect to STEM or STEAM as well and can be utilized for different grade levels. I have used them with my Kindergartens as well as with my Grade 4s. To challenge older thinkers, there are a variety of different perspectives included (some birds' eye view, some horizontal). The mat themes also come in a variety of sizes, which encourages students to think critically about the size of each object they make and how it will fit into the mat.


***Please be aware that these are in colour only, as the b&w version eliminates the quality of the majority of the backgrounds. However, you would be able to choose to print them in greyscale if you preferred.

I recommend printing on card stock from your home or school printer on an 8.5 x 11 page (or 11 x 17) and laminating for long-term classroom use.

This freebie only includes 1 playdough mat. Enjoy!
