Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Counting and number recognition: Number mats, ten-frame cards, puzzles and counting sets build number sense to 10.
• Number order: Line-up puzzles and missing number cards help children put numbers in sequence.

• Sorting and graphing: Children sort fall objects by shape or number and graph dice rolls.
• Patterns: AB patterning cards in three levels help children copy, continue and create patterns.
• Alphabet knowledge: Children match uppercase and lowercase letters and trace letters.
• Visual discrimination: Clip cards ask "Which is different?" and "Which is smallest?"
• Pre-writing and fine motor skills: Line tracing cards, clip cards and play dough build hand strength and control.
• Vocabulary building: Write, trace and draw the room posters introduce fall words.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Taking turns

How to Use It

Step 1: Choose the centers you want for the week. Print them on card stock and laminate them for long-term durability.

Step 2: Introduce each activity in a small group, then move it into your math or literacy centers or morning tubs. Use page protectors or dry erase pockets to make write-and-wipe activities reusable.

Step 3: Store small games in zip-top bags or photo boxes for quick, organized access. Rotate in new centers through the season and bring out fall BINGO for a whole-class game.

Materials You'll Need

• Card stock
• Laminating pouches and a laminator (for durability)
• Page protectors or dry erase pockets
• Dry erase markers
• Play dough and mini erasers
• Dice
