Free Activities for your Pre-School/Kindergarten Kids

Hey yo. It's starting to get super cold in Chicago right now. Your kids are inside a lot more lately and you might be starting to pull out your hair. I wanted to share some activities that I have put up on Teachers Pay Teachers that are super easy for you to use at home. I'm talking print and use type of situations. Also, Teachers Pay Teachers is not just for teachers. There are so many great things for you to use at home for free with your kids. (Shameless plug- I create a lot of free products. If you follow me on TPT, you'll always be up to date). Here are some great FREE products for you to check out this week.

Forest Animals Pre-School Centers

Bo's class is studying Forest Animals and he is so in. Most of the centers focus on Fine Motor Skills and Hand Eye Coordination. Perfect for those little fingers. Here he is doing the puzzle at breakfast. It's a great way to get your kids' mind started right at the beginning of the day.


One More Dominoes Activity

I love this dominoes activity. Your kids find the two numbers that show one more by matching dominoes.  It's great for counting and number sense practice up to 100. This activity also practices fine motor skills as they line up the dominoes.

Rolling Dice Number Recognition Activity 
Bo is obsessed with this game. All you need is a die and a marker. Kids roll a die and then circle
that number on the paper. There are multiple different pages for your kids to practice different skills. Circling numbers is SO good for pencil grip and pencil control. (Bo's not lucky to have the fancy version, I always write on the back of a piece of paper)








Pumpkin Themed Math Clothes Pins Centers
This activity practices all things counting to 10. There are tons of different math skills that are practiced. Also, by showing answers with the clothes pins, they are building their fine motor skills through pinching.

Sight Word Dominoes Activity
Another dominoes activity to practice the first set of sight words. Sight Words are those very basic words that you can't sound out and have to know immediately like "the" or "you". This is a great activity for kids who are just starting to read. They will be exposed with words and then match dominoes to find the pair.  There is also a practice page to continue building sight word skills.

Hopefully one of these activities help save your afternoon. Be sure to follow me on TPT for more FREE activities like these.

You've Got This.
