Let’s Learn Through Play

Help me give my students an assortment of colored cardstock to make games for center time to have opportunities to learn through play in both math and reading.

My Project

My teaching partner and I spend a lot of time making games for our students to learn math and reading. Learning in kindergarten is best when it happens through play. We make games for the children to use during their rotations in both math and reading.

My students love reading and math.

Our students work in groups of 4 to 6 during rotations in both math and reading. They rotate through each station playing games that focus on various standards. We do this twice a day.

Many days, the first thing my kids will ask is, "When do we get to do stations?"
