Better Behavior Wheel!
These educational card games are lots of fun, and are infinitely adaptable to
suit any activities which you would like to reinforce with your children.
Choose one of our pre-made games, or print out our "blank" and
make your own!
To play with a class of children:
Cut out the cards and give
one to each child in the class (you may need to double up a little). You
will see that one card begins with a star: this is the starting card.
Similarly, one card ends with a star, and this is the final card.
Whoever
has the starting card reads it out. Each child looks at his/her card to
see if it follows on, and if it does they reply with their red sentence,
then ask their blue sentence. Follow around the class as quickly as you
can.
The game is wonderful for concentration! As the children get better
at it, you can introduce a stopwatch to see if you can beat your previous
record.
To play with a small group of children:
Deal the cards
out so that you all have roughly the same number. You can fan the cards in
your hand, or simply lay them out in front of you as there is no benefit
to keeping them secret!
Again, whoever has the starting card reads it
out and players must follow on in sequence. You can turn the cards over as
they are played, and introduce a competitive element by saying that the
first child to turn all their cards over is the winner (but bear in mind
if you do this that you will never get to the end of the sequence!) Or you
can play all the cards and race with a stopwatch to see if you can beat
your previous time.

Sentence Game
Here is a fun game that can be played at school or home. The only materials
needed are pencils, paper, and small cards. A chalkboard will be needed if
this is played in the classroom.
Fish Matching Game
These cheerful Fish Matching Game cards can be used to play Memory
(Concentration), Go Fish and many other card games, as well as played with
our sorting mats by one child on their own.
Maths Games for
the Active Child
To put it in a nice way, my son is rather squirmy. He doesn't like to sit still
for very long unless he's playing a video game, then it's just amazing. So
instead of constantly telling him to sit down and do his math, we take it
outside or up the stairs, literally...
