Hi! I'm finally getting around to blogging about three of my newest "On the Fly" games! You loved the Number Sense set, so I figured why not make more? These On the Fly games are intended to be used for those times when you need a filler/game but don't have time to prep it. They are also great for early finishers, centers {when you don't have time to make something}, or a substitute. I keep stacks of mine copied in organized folders by title so I always have them ready!
The original set, Number Sense, is a great resource to have on hand for the beginning of the year. I don't like to start our Math curriculum {we use Go Math} for the first two weeks or so of school. I'd rather get kids acclimated to our classroom and play some general number sense games to wake their brains up from summer before diving into the program. This pack includes 18 simple games and covers skills such as number ID, number words, counting, tally marks, and more. It's great for first grade or kindergarten. What's great about this and all of my On the Fly packs is the fact that it's differentiated. Each game in this particular has 1 or 2 differentiated options so you can meet the needs of the kids in your room.
Next up is my second On the Fly pack, which is devoted to Spelling practice! These printables are intended to be used with any words--spelling, sight words, word family/word pattern words, etc...Each activity has 2 options--one for 5 words and one for 10 words. These are great to keep copied for literacy centers, substitutes, or Spelling practice before a test. They would also make great homework activities.
And finally, my Addition on the Fly pack is complete! I just finished it up Saturday. I'm looking forward to using these because we are working on addition in class right now. I mentioned Go Math. While I don't mind the program now that I have taught it for almost three years, I do mind the fact that the games in there are horrible! Just about every day, I like to supplement the end of the lesson with a quick game. My On the Fly games are perfect for that!
