I LOVE my new Christmas Fluency Find Its series because it incorporates movement and team building into your literacy and math lessons. These fun holiday themed games work on essential reading and math skills that students should be fluent in for each period of the year, while giving them a chance to get out of their seats and move a little bit.
Here’s a little preview of my Christmas Fluency Find It in action in a classroom. This is the addition game, but it comes with 4 other skills too.
How to Play:
Students get in small groups and stand behind their table with their worksheet in front of them. Students will say what they see on the screen, then hunt for the answer on their paper. After a couple of turns, a screen will pop up prompting students to switch players. The student finding the answers, will go to the end of the line. The switch spots screen is animated so they can watch the Santa run down the chimney. 🙂
Differentiation
I’ve included 2 ways to play: timed slides or manual slides depending on how fluent your students are in that skill.
Literacy & Math Skills
This Kindergarten bundle includes 5 different games to work on a variety of reading and math skills (beginning sounds, middle vowel sounds, ending sounds, addition to 5, and missing numbers to 10). It also includes and editable version so you can make your own! 🙂
You can find Fluency Find It bundles for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade in my store here.
Recording Sheets
Students can play in groups to help each other hunt for the answer on the paper to match what they see on the screen. There are 2 worksheets you can use to differentiate learning if needed. You can have students color, circle, or highlight the answers, write in the answers, or I found some fun stamps to let them mark their answers as well.
Assessments
You can use this as an assessment and have students play this individually and then when the switch spots screen comes up, they can grab their paper and move to another spot at their table. Collect these at the end to see if kids know their letters, how to write their numbers, etc.
If you like this idea you can find a Christmas bundle for Kindergarten, 1st grade, or 2nd grade. I also have Holiday bundles which will include these games for 7 different holidays but at a bigger discount.
Christmas Fluency Find It is also available in my TPT store for Holidays or after many requests,I have them for individual skills without a holiday theme.
