Description

This resource includes 18 literacy and math activities with an adorable winter theme. The activities make the perfect kindergarten morning tubs. This resource works perfect during the month of January to compliment your winter unit, or just for fun. It is packed full of games and interactive, hands-on activities to keep students engaged and learning even on the coldest days.

These kindergarten morning tubs are easy to prep – most are just print and go. They use basic classroom supplies such as plastic cubes, mini erasers, play dough, dot cubes, and spinners. Most activities include more than one version allowing you to differentiate for your students.

Each activity includes teacher friendly directions as well as an “I Can” visual directions page to promote independence. They do not include recording sheets which makes them ideal for morning tubs and early finisher activities. But you can certainly use them for math and literacy centers too.

This file includes editable pages for the sight word activity. This will allow you to add your own sight words and personalize the covers. Please note that you will need to open the file in Adobe to edit. You will be unable to edit when viewing the file in your web browser.

Here's a look at what's included:

Syllable Build: Students will say the name of each picture and clap to determine the number of syllables. They will stack that many cubes on top of the picture. (2 activities included)

Sound Buttons: Students will say the name of each picture and identify the middle vowel sound or word family. They will use the snowman button color code to cover the pictures. Middle vowel sounds and CVC word families are included. (4 activities included)

Build the Word: Students will select a picture card and place it on the mat. They will say the onset and determine the rime. They will use mini erasers or other small manipulatives to form the rime on the mat. Note: There are two versions of the picture cards included, in case you’d like to make this activity self checking. You can cover the letter with a sticky note. Students can lift the sticky note to check their work.

Middle Vowel Sound Bump Games: Students play with a partner. Players will take turns spinning the spinner and covering a picture match with a plastic cube. If a player rolls the same word they can “BUMP” the other player off the space. If the player rolls the same word again, without being bumped off, they can add a second cube to “lock” the space. Locked spaces cannot be bumped. The first player to use all of their cubes is the winner. (2 activities included)

Winter Words: Students will select a vocabulary card and place it on the mat. They will follow the prompts on the mat to write the word with a dry erase marker and/or build the word using magnetic letters. You can punch a hole and put the picture vocabulary cards on a metal ring for easy storage. (2 options of work mats included)

Snowmen Sight Words: Students will select a sight word card and place it on the mat. They will build the word using a dry erase marker or magnetic letters. This activity is editable so you can add your own sight words.

Roll, Read, Cover: Students will roll a dot cube and read the color word. They will cover a space on the activity mat to match the color word. They will continue to play until all of the spaces are covered. You can use this as a partner game. Students take turns and the first player to complete their picture wins. (5 activities included)

Dough Creations: Students will use play dough to make snakes to form the dough gingerbread theme pictures. (9 picture cards included)
