You can buybaseball card holders at any craft store or discount store.
They meet mycriteria for a “cheap and easy” learning material for any classroom. Cut paper into 2 ½” x 3” rectangles anduse to make:
- Bingo Cards – Create Bingo cards for math facts, sight words, vocabulary words, phonics, etc. Adapt the cards to specific skills your students are struggling with.
- Lotto Games – Children can match upper and lowercase letters, rhyming words, pictures and beginning sounds, friends and names, etc.
- Phonics – Children can make CVC words and read them.
- Place Value – Reinforce ones, tens, and hundreds by placing numeral cards in the holders.
- Word Study – Put the root word in the middle section and add prefixes and suffixes.
- Individualized Task Cards – Write out daily or weekly assignments for students to complete on small pieces of paper. Children can color in the pictures as they complete the activities.
*Hint! My photo shows several differentexamples on one baseball card holder, although games should only focus on oneconcept.
*Old workbookshave great pictures for these making games.
