Well, winter weather has finally arrived in New Jersey! It's 14 degrees, there's a dusting of snow on the ground, and low temps should be here all week. Although winter isn't my favorite season, I have to say that it seems a lot more normal than the 58 degree day we had last week! Maybe the freezing temperatures will knock out some of the crazy germs that are going around. (Is that true? Do low temperatures actually kill germs? What's the science on that? I read on Yahoo tonight that we won't get sick by going out in the cold with wet hair, so I'm just not so sure about anything anymore!)
Icy weather leads to thinking about ... penguins! Here's a fun little penguin freebie for you! It addresses CCCS 1.NBT.1 (counting on the 120 chart) and 1.NBT.5 (mentally add 10). Enjoy!
Happy Teaching!
Thanks! This is just perfect for indoor recess.

You're welcome, Maria! You must think like I do... why not take advantage of that "play time" to sneak in some extra practice/fun?

Such a cute game. Thank you!! My daughter and I will play it and think of ice and snow rather than a sweltering Aussie summer. Cheers!

You're welcome, Kim! Don't you just love TBA?

Thanks for stopping by Linda! Thank you too for the sweet comment on my post! Already got the penguin game printed and laminated so we can use it Monday!! I was looking through some of your old posts and found inferencing activities! I put the fall and winter on my wishlist on TpT (and am now following you there too!) for next year! What a great idea to turn them into connect 4 games! My kids love those...probably because they LOVE using their bingo daubers as well as playing games!

Those bingo daubers are almost as big a hit as highlighters, aren't they? It's such fun to see what little things can bring delight to the faces of our kiddos!
DeleteThanks so much for commenting and following, Kim!

Thanks for sharing. This is a great game for our Friday Game Day.
ReplyDeleteI just found this on Classroom Freebies. It is so cute! I just pinned it to my board for buddy activities because I know my fourth graders would enjoy teaching this to their first grade buddies.

HI! Is it possible to get the printable again? I used it last year but can't find the file, and here it says "404 unfound"...would it be possible to get the link or pdf again? It's a great game!
ReplyDeleteHi, Thea! My apologies for not having responded to you sooner! The link has been repaired. I'm so grateful to you for having let me know about the problem, and I hope you'll enjoy the game - again! :)
