CONCENTRATION
finding pairs of matching flashcards placed face down on the table (memory game)
TREASUREHUNT
Make clues on cards. Ex. go to the door, table, closet, chair, clock, etc. Hide the card with clue in each of the destinations. The student looks in each destination (and finds the next clue) until he finds the treasure. The treasure can be a pinata full of candy that he gets to break.
COLORS
Play a boardgame like candyland. You can easily make it yourself by pasting colored paper squares in a path. Make a die from a small cube. Paste the colors on each side of the cube. roll the die and the student moves his marker to the next square on the boardgamethat matches the color he threw on the die.
NUMBERS
Play a card game like "Go fish" or "War" to practice the numbers.
You can google the
rules for
go fish, if these two links are not clear.
You and the student each have a deck of cards.
You each flip one card face up on the floor if you are sitting on the floor (or table).The player with the high card keeps both cards. Keep flipping cards and capturing the cards whenyou have drawn the highest point card. Continue until all cards are captured (or play for a set time limit and the one who has the most cards after 5 minutes wins the game).
When the card values are tied, you have a war. Both of you place 3 cards face down near the card you turned over and a 4th card you turn face up. Whoever has the high card wns all the cards.
