More Lid Games

Each year I put a LARGE empty container in the front of my room! My students bring in lids and then based on the lids they bring me I create games for my classroom. Lids are FREE and easy for little hands to manipulate them.

Before I create games with the lids, we have a math lesson with them. We count them, sort them, graph, compare, ect....

Gumball Game: 1 piece of 12 x 12 paper, lamination scraps, alphabet photos sticker (mine are from Lakeshore) and the alphabet letters written on lids! To make the game a little easier I matched the paper gumball to the color of the lid. (some kids did not need to know this trick for helping them with beginning sounds)

So you know the trash that is left after you pass out stickers????? NOW you have a great way to use that too! I just save that and then I used lids for the students to build sight words!!!! FREE again!!!

 This literacy activity is made out of soda lids. I did all of the lifecycles that we study in Kindergarten and I matched the text color to the color of the lids just in case they got mixed up. The lid serves the purpose as the period at the end of the sentence and the studetns read the sentence and place the correct picture at the end of the sentence!!!!

This game is made of clear lids (like pringles lids)! All I did was write the words on the lids and then cut the lid into puzzles. I made each cute a little different so that they would only fit with the correct other half!
