A lot of the file folder games I've found online are very preschool based. Very simple skills. Which is nice, for preschool, but now that I'm starting to move towards actual subjects, is frustrating. So I've been searching the internet for games that I can put into a file folder game, that is science, history, geography, or bible based. I've come across some ideas, so I'm going to be making some today. I'll post pictures in a day or two when I'm done. But here is a bunch of links to various ideas, and some ideas that I'm going to use. Printable manipulatives resources I'm going to use the rulers for a measuring game, I think Blank Clock I saved this to my computer and then resized it to use in a FFG Clock Rummy A lot of teacher created games Telling Time Worksheets A LOT of math worksheets, games, ideas free good Bible maps I'm going to make an Egypt/Exodus game with the Exodus map Games for Learning tips, techniques, and ideas for making games 59 different games, different ages game boards educational games file folder game links |

Someone told me a better, quieter way to do FFG's than velcro. Glue thin washers underneath each piece, and then on the top piece, glue a piece of magnet. These are the coolest things!!! |

File Folder Games Materials needed: Letter Size File Folders Clear Contact Paper or a lamination machine Velcro Glue Scissors All file folders will need a cover picture and file name glued to the front of the file with instructions on how to play, and write the name of the game on the tab. Attach a ziplock bag to the back of the folder to hold the pieces. These games are good for quiet times, work alone times, and car rides! To make a file folder game, laminate the base pieces and glue to the insides of the file folder. Or, glue to the insides before laminating, and then laminate the entire folder. After laminating, add small pieces of velcro to the base pieces. Then cut out and laminate the playing pieces, adding velcro to the backs of those. Now the playing pieces can attach to the base piece. RABBIT RHYMES
How to play: Match the rhyming pictures. To make: Cut out rabbits and glue a smaller picture of household items on top of the rabbit picture. Glue half the rabbits to the file folder, and leave their pairs loose. To make this more advanced for a reading child, you could write the words on each rabbit, instead of a picture. Answer key: Coat-Boat; Net-Wet; Snail-Mail; Chain-Rain; Nose-Rose; Rake-Cake; Moon-Spoon; Bag-Flag; Tree-Bee; Rock-Sock; Can-Pan; Log-Dog; Ring-King; Tie-Eye; Duck-Truck; Bat-Hat. SHIP SHAPE
How to Play: Match shapes to make a picture. To Make: Choose
a picture from a coloring book that includes lots of triangles,
circles, rectangles and squares. You could draw your own picture also
using a sun, water, round fish and boat made up of a combination of
several triangles, rectangles and squares. Make two copies of the same
picture, large enough to fit one picture on each side of the inside
folder. On the left side of the folder show the completed colored
picture. On the right side of the folder do not color in the shapes but
leave the lines in black and white. Laminate the folder. Cut out
colored cardstock of the shapes your child will need to complete the
right hand side of the folder.
Body Parts Print out 2 copies of a human body/paper doll. Color and laminate. Glue one body down, and cut the other one into pieces - hands, feet, face, etc. For older kids you can label the parts of the body. To make it more educational as the kids get older, you can go to a specific system, like the digestive, or the brain, or do something like the face. Another idea is to print out a copy of a paper doll, and then print out clothes for him, and the kids can change their clothes/face/shoes. Some examples of FFG I'm going to make (a lot of ideas came from the following links) are: Car Matching numbers - matching 1-20 Umbrella alphabet - matching upper and lowercase letters Umbrella shapes - matching single and double shapes Number Shape - matching numbers and shapes, 1-30 Body Parts and clothes Animal Habitats Alphabet matching - matching a letter of the alphabet to an image that it starts with - ex. A would match up to an apple.

Then you would stick a small piece of velcro on all of those watermelons. Then you would have 10 more watermelons, only with the numerical number on them, also with velcro on the back. Then the kid takes the numerical number and has to match it up to the amount of seeds on the watermelon. Everything is laminated, too. |

I have just discovered file folder
games. Are they the coolest things since cd's or what?
(side note - I actually had a guy my freshman year tell me that I was
the best thing to happen to him since cd's. I probably shouldn't
laugh, but I still think that is just a hilariously cheesy line LOL) Anyway.......I am having a field day looking stuff up......so in a day or two I will have a post with lots of links/info on file folder games. And as soon as I go school supply shopping, I'll have pictures too :) |
