File Folder Games

File folder games are super easy to make, and a fun way to extend on basic skills. I made a few matching games to help the toddlers with the concept.

Here are examples of a shamrock match, a flower match, and colored pumpkins. (The last one was a good for colors too!)

Another file folder game that I made awhile ago was a dinosaur game board. I lightly drew a dinosaur shape and then glued on small pieces of paper. The goal for this game was to help with counting. The children roll a die, count the number of circles, and move that many spaces.

I used this activity with preschoolers and some had a hard time with the fact that they "didn't win." This opened an opportunity to discuss good sportsmanship :)

Toodles :o)
