We used the continent pages to play a game. We printed this continent hop game from SPELL OUT LOUD Blog, then we would roll the cube to see which continent to hop to. (we ended up having to move to the hardwood and tape them down)
We also used the cubes for sorting animals by habitat. We used the blank template, and I made some habitat squares to glue on them, as well as some larger habitat pages to sort the animals on. We used TOOB animals from various places, as well as other animals we had around the house. You can download my sorting cards and habitat squares here.
We also played a body part bean bag game, using the body parts page and the colors page. You roll a body parts cube, and then a color cube to know which color bean bag to put on which body part. Try to keep them there while you roll again!
LOVE all the ways you used the Education Cubes! May I have permission to feature your ideas (along with a photo) on the Education Cubes blog? I would link back to you crediting you with the idea! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery cute, thanks for adding your link too :-)
ReplyDeleteFYI, I featured our idea with the Continent Hop today on the Education Cubes blog: http://www.educationcubes.com/2012/03/continent-hop.html
