Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Counting and number recognition (1-20): Children use ten-frames, puzzles, clip cards and play dough mats.
• One-to-one correspondence: Children touch and count flowers, petals and spring manipulatives.
• Alphabet recognition and beginning sounds: Letter cards, the match-up and tracing build early literacy.
• Critical thinking and problem solving: Sorting, graphing and "What does not belong?" activities ask children to reason about what they see.
• Early patterns: Flower patterning cards introduce AB patterns.
• Fine motor skills: Tracing lines, clipping cards, rolling play dough and coloring strengthen little hands.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Following directions in multi-step activities
• Taking turns during flower BINGO and graphing games
• Working independently in literacy and math centers
• Communicating choices during pretend play
• Waiting during group play
• Building confidence during group participation

How to Use It

Step 1: Choose the flower centers you want for the week. Print and laminate the pieces you want to reuse.

Step 2: Introduce each activity in a small group, then set it out in math centers, literacy centers or morning tubs for independent practice while you work with small groups.

Step 3: Bring out flower BINGO, spin and graph games or tic-tac-toe for whole-group fun, and use the clipping, tracing, rolling and sorting activities for fine motor practice.

Materials You'll Need

• Play dough, dry erase markers or manipulatives for the number mats
• Laminating supplies

Easy Differentiation

Preschool, pre-K and kindergarten learners bring a wide range of skills to spring centers. These activities make it easy to adjust for preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, ELL and special education learners.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Start with numbers 1-5 on the number mats and counting puzzles
• Count flower petals together, touching each one
• Use the line tracing cards before moving to letters and numbers
• Choose the simpler options on the sorting mats

For On-Level Practice

• Use the counting puzzles to 10 and the number 1-10 sorting mats
• Copy and continue the flower AB patterns
• Play the graphing games and Spin & Cover games with a partner
• Match letters to beginning sounds with the match-up

For an Extra Challenge

• Build numbers up to 20 on the number mats
• Create new AB patterns with flower cards
• Tell which group on the graph has more and which has fewer
• Write words around the room with Write the Room

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support

• Name each flower picture together to build vocabulary during BINGO
• Practice target sounds with the beginning sound match-up
• Use clipping, tracing, rolling and sorting for occupational therapy fine motor work
• Use the pretend play flower set to practice describing words
• Give extra processing time and offer one center at a time
