Games
Here are some good suggestions for some games, these seem to be pretty adaptable so you can use
them with a variety of students
Cookin’ Cookies - this is fun game, very simple, the kids get a recipe card then then the use the spoons
that have suction cups on them and grab a cookie and try to find the ingredients they need that are on
the back of each cookie. They have other lunch box games as well, like a monster match that is pretty
cute.
Pop-up Pirate – similar to 5 Monkeys and Don’t Wake Daddy, you put in the swords in the barrel and
eventually the pirate pops up.
Spot It – more of an advanced game but each card has multiple “I spy” items and one item on every 2
cards will match.
Shark Attack – students have fish pieces and work on color identification and the shark moves around the
board.
Diggity Dog - The Diggity Dog Game get kids to help the puppies find their bones. Press on the electronic
barking dog and he will bark the number of spaces you move- 1, 2, or 3. When your puppy lands on a
space beside a bone, he can pick it up using his magnetic nose. Manufactured by International
Playthings. 2 - 4 Players. Ages 3+
Crocodile Hop - A little fun helps the learning go down with Learning Resources' Crocodile
Hop Floor Game, an active hop-scotch like game that promises to teach kids about colors,
shapes, and numbers, and help develop their problem solving and gross motor skills. Kids
roll the cube and then hop to the spot on the included colorful floor mat or mark the spot
with a game marker. Younger kid testers loved this game! learningresources.com.

Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game – a little more complicated but I think it could be modified. The squirrel is
actually a pair of tongs to pick up the acorns, so that is very cute and good fine motor.
Your forest friends are hungry and they need your help! Spin the spinner, squeeze the matching colored acorn with your Squirrel Squeezers, and place it
into your log. Be the first to your log with delicious acorns and you win! You could also spin “pick an acorn,” “steal an acorn,” or “lose an acorn,” so be
strategic, little squirrel! Ages 3-5
This is a new game I have found, very similar to crocodile dentist and don’t wake daddy, etc. basically
you take turns taking out carrots and see which carrot makes the bunny jump.
