Olympics Centers

 

Printables from Pocket of Preschool's Olympic Winter Games

writing on foil on clipboards

Gold Bar letters

I used to drink coffee, and the lids were gold.

When I taught first grade, they had words on them.

I used foam beads and pipe cleaners.

Pokey pins :)

Fine Motor journal ideas

How a hockey puck moves

Skiers skiing around gates

I used garage sale dots.

 for curling:

I gave everyone a "rock," aka a bottle top :)

My example :)

Shape of the Day Part 2

 I have my students trace shapes on the easel, 

right before we draw them on paper.

I tell them they need to color in the shape like they are 

frosting/icing a cookie.

No one wants an unfrosted cookie!

They draw and color them in, then I display them on the board.

This year, I added the shapes behind their art, 

but last year, I just drew the shapes on construction paper.

This was last year's:

Shapes board part one

Shapes part two

Winter Morning Work

Sn*wflakes and more!

I give them a choice about what color they can use,

Hole Punches papers

Read more about the punches here.

Funky Scissors to make a cutting collage

Fine motor snowflake beads-

just stringing them on a pipe cleaner

You could have them make patterns,

you could add a dice and have them 

add that many beads 

to the pipe cleaner.

I got them from Oriental Trading,

here is the post they made

using them, but they are out of stock.

sn*w and ice magnatiles- not a big hit at all this year, no one used them!

I swapped it out with something in week two.

I think they were from Target.

Number guide from Tara West.

These were our snowmen math magnet game.$

In the white bin

I drew the faces on the cups.

The snowballs were from Target, I think.

The cups just sit in a bin, and the kids toss yarn  pom-poms

into them and call out the number they sank the pom-pom.

Besides our fine motor table, I added these trays.

These are super small trays.

I have a bag for each number.

Yellow tray- random cards- I have zero idea where they came from.

Blue tray- Number Blocks cards from a set. 

Number cards from some people I bought this summer.

Red Tray~ textured cards from Target and sandpaper cards from FB Marketplace.
