Facilitating Learning with File Folder Games!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fin's classroom raised $182

My Project

Please help me buy the materials necessary to make file folder games for the students in my classroom! File folder games are activities that use a manila folder as a base to help students practice and master skills like matching, sorting, and problem-solving. They will be used in my special education classroom to help students work independently and build their skills.

In order to make quality file folder games I need some new materials!

Laminating the file folders and adding Velcro to the pieces make the file folder games reusable and durable for years to come!
