Watermellon Activities

Years ago I had a website called play2learnprintables.  It was a place where I put all of the literacy or math centers I made to keep track of them.  I shared them online.  I'm going to pull them here so you can have easier access to them!

Print this grid to use for a learning activity with your students. Children use a die to roll a number. They then place a small object like a foam piece on the appropriate number of images. Great for preschool, daycare, kindergarten or primary teachers! Think about picnics sun and watermellon!

Play this as you would the traditional tic tac toe game. This simple activity helps teach children higher order thinking skills!

Teach young children the days of the week using these fun thematic cards!

 
Cut out the cards and laminate! Students then read the phonetic or sight words to sort onto the appropriate mat. Use the large letter tiles to help build the word before sorting. To self check, keep a library pocket on the back of each card with a copy of the correct words on a card (the template has "in" and "not in" words grouped together)

In the Word/Not in the Word

Cut the cards below on the black line.  Children count the seeds on each watermellon and pin a clothespin on the correct number. For self checking, place a sticker on the back of the correct number so the student can flip and check!

Print two copies of this activity. Turn the cards upside down and students flip to find matches! These high frequency words help encourage reading fluency!

And finally,  here's a book for your individual students.
