File Folder Games

Occupying three little boys so that I can do "big school" with my oldest and entertain my baby can be difficult. File folder games are fun, simple, and inexpensive ways for little ones to learn on their own. To make the games you can buy a book with reproducible pages or check online for free.

Here are my little guys enjoying file folder games:

This is my two year old. He is matching fruit to their silhouetted shape. He loves this one, and will do it over and over again. The gameboard is made by gluing shapes onto the folder and then laminating the whole thing. The pieces are stored in a plastic baggie that is placed in the folder when its put away.

How much fun is it to match the front of an animal to the backside of an animal? Just ask my three year old.

This game is quite versatile. For the younger kids it helps with matching colors, but for my five year old it is working on word recognition. It seems like a simple game, but it really works!

Here are a few sites that offer printable file folder games:
