Do you need new activities for your children? If you would like to challenge your kids and offer them exciting new learning opportunities one of the best ways to do this is by printing out some file folder games. Printable file folder games can be purchased as sets of 100 or more using a CD or you can print a bunch of free templates off the internet. These games al help your kids to learn but they are also entertaining to them, especially when you are in for a long car ride or you are at a place that your kids deem “boring”.
Here are a few great ideas for the summer file folders that will have your kids laughing and learning:
- Fish count
- Flag match
- Dinosaur spell
- Travel add
To create the games you will need to gather some file folders, glue sticks, printouts of the various objects you would like to use and then come up with a particular game. Here are the ideas for the above printable file folder games.
Fish Count
In the summer you should try and take your kids fishing or head to an aquarium where they can learn about the different types of fish. Then you can create a fun file folder game based on what they were able to learn. Head online and print out different pictures of fish or you can choose to draw some different fish on their own. Now have your kids perform math problems and use the fish to add, subtract, etc. Another way to do it is to have dots become the numbers and have the child place the appropriate number of fish over the dotted area so they are able to match it up correctly.
