The Pinball Song

I remember watching these kind of videos on Sesame Street as a kid. Enjoy!

Christmas Pattern Blocks

I discovered that my youngest son is really into pattern block designs. So with it being Christmas season I thought it would be fun to find some Christmas themed pattern block designs. PreKinders has some free printable pattern designs for wreaths, snowmen and presents. They look like a lot of fun!

Roll-A- Dice Games

My oldest son loves playing Roll-A-Christmas tree (see below). It is a lot of fun because you are racing another person to see who can draw their Christmas tree first. But if you don't roll the die on the right number it may take you a while to finish. This morning he said it would be fun if there were a Roll-A-Snowman game. So I immediately checked online and was thrilled to find that very game. Can't wait to play that with him later!

The following are drawing games--Supplies: Paper, Pencils, Dice
Roll-A-Christmas Tree
Roll-A-Gingerbread Man

Roll-A-Snowman

Here is another fun art idea: You assemble as you roll the dice! How fun!

Supplies: Printouts, dice

Roll-A-Penguin

Here is a fun Science Experiment game:

Melt An Ice Cube

I also decided to search for other Roll-A-Dice games and was thrilled to find a year's worth at Mrs. Meacham's Classroom Snapshots. She has her games sorted by month and some months offer a few options.

Most of these activities are geared to younger children, but they could easily be adapted to older kids. You could try making it more complicated by doing math equations or adding more numbers and options. Have fun!
