Wow! Check this out 3 posts in one month!?!?!?! Hold the phone...
Get it...Hold the phone!
(Sorry this is one of my faves! So anytime I get a chance to wear it or share it,
I am all about that!)
So if you made it past my corniness I would love to share two fun snow activities! They are super easy to prep and you can get the recording sheets for FREE on my TPT store!
Popcorn "snow"balls
This is a great activity for Literacy stations.
What you need:
pieces of white paper cut into squares or rectangles.
(8 1/2 X 11 cut into fourths or index cards).
marker
bucket
snowball popcorn word recoding sheet
Click here for the recording sheet!
To Prep:
1. Write down one popcorn word onto each piece of paper.
2. Crumple it up into a "snow"ball.
3. Put it in bucket.
4. Fill the bucket with "snow"balls.
Activity:
Students will reach into the bucket and pull out a "snow"ball. They will read the word.
If they don't know the word they can "phone" a friend!! HAHA! Just kidding they can ask friend.
They write the word from the snowball on the recording sheet. Then they crumple it back up to make a "snow"ball and put it back in the bucket.
Once the recording sheet is full they can read the words to you and then they are finished.
I always tell my kiddos that if they pick a word twice...crumple it back up and pick a new word.
Here are a few pics:

"Snow"ball addition
This activity is great for math stations!
What you need:
pieces of white paper cut into squares or rectangles.
(8 1/2 X 11 cut into fourths or index cards).
marker
bucket
snowball addition word recoding sheet
Click here for the Snowball addition recording sheet!
To Prep:
1. Write down a number onto each piece of paper.
This is super easy to differentiate depending on the numbers you write down.
(You can have different buckets for different levels)
2. Crumple it up into a "snow"ball.
3. Put it in bucket.
4. Fill the bucket with "snow"balls.
Activity:
Students will reach into the bucket and pull out a "snow"ball. They will write the number on the 1st snowball of the number sentence on the recording sheet. They will then draw another "snow"ball. They will write that number on the 2nd "snow"ball of the number sentence. They will then add the numbers and write the answer the on the 3rd "snow"ball. Once the number is complete they crumple the "snow"balls up and go again.
Here are some pics:

| This student is using counters to solve the addition problems. |

My students really loved these activities! You can use this concept for just about anything.
-building words
-number recognition
-letter sounds or letter recognition
-subtraction
-multiplication
Just to name a few!
I hope this is something that you can use in your classroom!
