Play-Doh Fun!

Who's looking to put a little more fun into their literacy and math stations?  If you're struggling with they new vigor vs. fun dilemma in education right now, you need to keep reading this post.

I know that my kiddos LOVE anything to do with Play-doh.   Seriously... is it the Play-doh scent?  I think it might be...

Anyway... if you are looking for ways to incorporate fun and standards into your curriculum, look no further!   Here are some must have ideas for your classroom that involve the all-time favorite Play-doh.  By the end of this post, we hope to give you several ideas and two of you will have a chance to win ALL of the stations in this post.

Let's begin with literacy...
Forming letters and numbers with Play-doh is a great reinforcement for students because they really have to "think" about how to form the sounds and letters as they make them.  While their doing it they are thinking about whatever skill it is they are working on.  Double reinforcement! (K.RF.1)

If your students are beyond letter making skills, maybe they can use the following cards for ordering letters in alphabetical order or making sight words. (K.RF.1, K.RF.3, 1.KL.2)

 Students can practice their short vowels sounds and reinforce them even more by making the letter.  (1.RF.2a, 1.RF.2c)


Now moving on to math stations...
These set of cards help with numeral formation and also reinforces counting.(K.CC.4)

If your students are ready for ten-frames, then they might be ready for these cards. (K.CC.3)
 

If your kiddos are ready to practice solving addition problems up to ten they can start practicing with these cards.  (K.OA.2)

Student can use Play-doh to practice story problems and number sentences.


Students can use play-doh to press base ten blocks impressions to make numbers. 


 Students can use play-doh to make the hands on a clock and then record the times on a recording sheet. (1.MD.3)

    1. I stopped using Play-doh when they made us get rid of the "choosing" time at the end of the day. The kids loved it so much we had to find a way to bring it back in with an educational twist!

  27. Facebook is a virtual world with a lot of apps. And they're all different and (sometimes) addictive in their own sense. Top Facebook apps like Farmville, Criminal Case, Texas HoldEm Poker and many more are loved by users, serving as a great past-time, and perhaps, the perfect distraction. Sure, staying online all day to play games is unhealthy and not recommended, but a little indulgence never hurts anyone. As long as you don't have any other work. Therefore, here's a list of the games you should try out if you're free, online and bored. twitch viral
