FREE MATH LESSON – “FREE Snow Much Counting! Card Game”

by Teacher Tam
Pre-Kindergarten – 1st Grade



This is an engaging, winter-themed counting and place value card game. Three sets of cards are included for different levels of play: numbers 1-10, 10-20, and numbers over 20 (e.g. 27, 72, 45, 54). Students take turns representing the quantities on the cards using ones and/or tens and ones. This set also includes a directions sheet for parents if you send it home, ones and tens counters, 1 full-color recording page to laminate, and 2 black line pages.

This game addresses the following Common Core Standards* for Kindergarten and First Grade:

K.CC.A.3 Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20.

K.CC.B.4 Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.

K.CC.B.5 Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.

K.NBT.A.1 Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation.

1.NBT.A.1 Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.

1.NBT.B.2 Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones.

FREE MISC. LESSON – “FREE FONTS: AlphaBasic 8-Font Set (Personal Use)”

by KB3Teach
Pre-Kindergarten – 12th Grade



Looking for an alternative to Comic Sans? This font is clear and simple, but a little heavier/bolder. Includes some of those hard-to-find elements — the top on the capital J, top/bottom on the capital I, the flip on the end of the lowercase q, a straight number 9 and 6.

Works great for labels, book bins, folders and binder covers.

FILE CONTAINS: Alpha Basic, Alpha Basic Bold, Alpha Basic Tall, Alpha Read, Alpha Read Light; // K26 Series (extended Latin characters and symbols): Alpha Sans, Alpha ABC, Alpha Casual.
——————————————-
If you would like to use these fonts in any of your commercial products, click here for a “hassle-free” license: KB3Teach ALPHA BASIC COMMERCIAL LICENSE
——————————————–
Design Tips: 1) Use “Word Art” (MS Office/Insert/Word Art) to change the weight of the line (Format/Shape Outline/Weight) and create a “lighter” or “heavier” effect; 2) Use shadows and text layering to give the font a 3D look for your classroom worksheets; 3) Change the font color to match your project.

Note: If you experience any difficulties with any of the fonts in the KB3Teach store, please let me know by leaving a question/comment on the Product Q/A tab. I will do everything I can to resolve the issue.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “FREE trial Word Family Phoneme Manipulation Task Cards for Speech Language”

by Susan Berkowitz
Kindergarten – 3rd Grade



Here are 12 task cards to demonstrate my Word Family task cards that work on phoneme manipulation (deleting the initial sound and adding a new sound) to make words.

This is an important skill for developing reading and decoding/encoding skills.

  • Many students with Dyslexia and other who struggle with reading and writing have difficulty with the skill of phoneme manipulation in words.
  • Auditory conceptualization skills often require specific structured direct teaching and lots of practice.

If you like these, try the full set here: Word Family Task Cards and you might also like my Phonological Awareness Phun games

Users have said:

  • These cards are so clever! Thanks for sharing them!
  • lovely layout and great activity Thank you
  • This is such a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Winter Number Identification Game (Penguins)”

by Love2TeachKiz
Kindergarten – 1st Grade



Students will review number identification with the number cards game. There are fifty cards. Twelve of the cards have a yellow star on them. When played in a group students take turns taking a card from the pile as they speak the number aloud. When a student draws a card with a star, they get an extra turn. The student with the most cards, at the end of the game, wins. I would encourage you to laminate the cards. My store has more number cards games with a different picture. Check them out.

FREE MISC. LESSON – “Set of Free Listening Glyphs | Beethoven Mozart Bach”

by Beth at Sweetly Sings the Songbird
1st – 4th Grade



Looking for a fun and easy way to reinforce active listening skills in your elementary music class? These FREE Listening Glyph Worksheets are the perfect supplement to your composer lessons or classical music units!

Students will listen to famous pieces by BeethovenMozart, and Bach, then color the worksheet based on what they hear — helping them stay focused, engaged, and learning through music.

Each glyph is kid-friendly, no prep, and works beautifully as a stand-alone listening activity, center task, or music sub plan!

✨ What’s Included:

✔️ Beethoven – “Ode to Joy” (Symphony No. 9)
✔️ Mozart – “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”
✔️ Bach – “Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major”

Each worksheet uses easy color-by-code directions like:
“Color the bears black if this song is played by a solo instrument, or color them brown if it is not.”


Students practice listening closely to musical details like tempo, dynamics, instrumentation, and mood — all while coloring!

❤️ Why You’ll Love It:

  • creative and interactive way to practice music listening skills.
  • Great for grades K–4 — simple enough for younger learners, with room for deeper discussion with older students.
  • No prep needed — just print and go!
  • Works for in-person or digital settings (just share the music link and the printable).
  • Keeps students focused and calm during listening time — perfect for transitions, centers, or quiet work.

✏️ Standards-Based:

These listening glyphs align with the National Core Arts Standards for Music, specifically:

  • Responding to music through analysis of elements and structure.
  • Connecting musical ideas to expressive intent and student response.
  • Developing listening and observation skills related to tempo, dynamics, timbre, and form.

You can feel confident that students are actively learning while having fun!

☕️ Teacher Tip: Use these glyphs as a listening center, or pair them with a “composer of the month” activity! Play the piece more than once — the first time for listening, the second time for coloring. You can even invite students to share their favorite musical element from the piece after they finish!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “CVC Words Mystery Game for Pre-K”

by RoShamBo Homeschooling
Pre-Kindergarten – 1st Grade



This free printable includes 5 worksheets for early readers to begin practicing middle sounds in CVC words. Each page is a “mystery” game with a vowel that has gone missing from every word on that page. Can you child be the detective that cracks the case of the missing CVC vowels?

What are CVC words?

CVC stands for consonant, vowel, consonant. Each CVC word is just 3 letters long and always in the consonant, vowel, consonant order. (So FLY is not a CVC word even though it’s only 3 letters long.)

Once your child understands the basics of beginning sounds, they can start thinking about MIDDLE SOUNDS. The middle sound in each CVC word is a vowel, so teaching CVC words also helps children begin to learn which letters are vowels.

CVC words are also a great way to start introducing phonics. Many CVC words can be taught in family sets that rhyme, which helps kids group new words together in a meaningful way that increases memory retention. For example, the “at” family includes at, cat, hat, mat, rat, and sat.

CVC Words Mystery Activity

This printable focuses on middle sounds in groups. Each word on a given page is missing the same middle sound (a vowel). Grouping CVC words like this helps kids cement their understanding of middle sounds even with a variety of word endings and beginnings. Introducing word families that rhyme (like the “at” family) is one way to start CVC words. If you want kids to practice truly sounding out each letter one-by-one, though, it’s helpful to try grouping CVC words by middle sound with different end sounds.

This game uses that method. The sheet that’s missing the ‘i’ sound has four words with different beginning and end sounds, but all with the same middle sound. (Lid, pig, pin, lip.) The sheet missing the ‘a’ sound includes sad, bag, cat, and fan.

This activity is most fun if played as a mystery game! Your kiddo must discover the missing vowel using their detective skills. Everything is in uppercase letters, so it’s okay if your child is still shaky on some of the lowercase letters like b/d differentiation.

Please let me know if you have any questions prior to purchasing.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Close Reading Companion: Tacky the Penguin”

by Tessa Maguire
1st – 3rd Grade



This Close Reading Companion for Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester walks you through first, second, and third readings with your students. It includes questions for the second and third readings as you focus on the author’s craft and text structure, and into third readings as students go beyond the text to make connections and determine the text’s importance.

Each Close Reading Companion includes

•Questions for guided second and third readings

•Graphic organizers for first, second and third readings

•Written response pages

Note: This is my interpretation on close reading with these books. No part of the original text is reprinted in this product.
