Race to the Gift: Subtraction Game

It’s time for the Holidays!! The kiddos place one marker in front of each number and take turns solving subtraction problems with two dice. I use the dice in dice you can find at a teacher store. You can use anything for a marker…  I bought some little holiday erasers from the dollar bins at Target. The marker next to the answer for the math problem is moved forward one space. The goal is to get all the markers to the finish line. Students can even make predictions and guess which number will be the winner! I made this a game using an idea from a co-worker of mine Mrs. James. http://mrsjamesfirstgrade.blogspot.com/ Check out her website for more great freebies!

Reindeer Races - Subtraction Game


Here is another Subtraction Game! The students pick a reindeer and use a marker to move along the path. I just coupled this with some subtraction flashcards. The students pick one and if they answer correctly they get to move one space. If not they do not move. The first person to reach the gifts at the end is the winner!

Greater Than / Less Than - Christmas

Here is the Christmas version of my greater than/ less than game I made. I added some "extra turn" cards too! Just put the cards in a stack upside-down on the table and the kids take turns. They pull a card, complete the math problem, and then decide where it goes. On the Greater Than 10, Less Than 10, or Equal to 10 mat. Happy Holidays!

Spin and Write

This is something I added for my writing station today. You can use it for anything not just Thanksgiving! I drew eight pictures on the board. The kids at this station came up to spin the arrow. (I bought the magnet spinner at a teacher store) Then they had to write a sentence about that picture and draw a little something to go along with their sentence. They really liked it! We made a Thanksgiving book with the sentences they came up with.
