FREE Grinch Bang Game

 Unfortunately, I have the nickname Grinch in my family because I have been known to let the holiday rush get to me. Although it is a bummer that my house will not be filled with visiting family this pandemic year, perhaps a silver lining may be that I don't feel as overwhelmed.

Anyway, I saw an image of the Grinch and it reminded me that many years ago I made a bang game and shared it. I haven't met a class yet that doesn't enjoy bang games.  

I made doubles and doubles plus one cards but a blank set is also included if you want to change the skill.

Thanksgiving ABC Order FREEBIE

 I like cut and glue center activities because not only do they practice the targeted skill but kids these days (wow, am I 90?) struggle with their scissors so they need all the practice they can get!

Thanksgiving Feast: A Subtraction Strategy Game {FREEBIE}

I made this game to practice the subtraction strategy of using addition facts (specifically doubles) to solve a subtraction question. I asked my students to use the included sentence frame as they solved each question. If they could do this correctly they put a counter over a picture on their FEAST board. The first player to completely cover their board is the winner.

I also included blank cards if you would like to change the skill.
Happy Thanksgiving!
