Fall Number Flashcards – 0–30 Memory and Sequencing Games

Fall Number Flashcards – 0–30 Memory and Sequencing Games
Holiday & Seasonal, ELA, Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Seasons, Fall, Math, Early Math, Numbers, Counting, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Quizzes, Projects, Flashcards, Word Problems, Centers

Fall Numbers Memory Game Bring autumn fun into your math lessons! This set of fall-themed flashcards gives students repeated practice with numbers from 0 to 30 in a playful and flexible format. I first made these for my kindergarten class, when many of my students still needed support with recognizing numbers and putting them in the right order. The cards worked well because they could be used in so many different ways without having to prepare something new each time. There are 228 cards in total, divided into six full sets with different colored borders. The colors make it easy to keep groups organized, since each table can use a separate set without mixing the cards together. Each card shows a single number in a large, clear font, which helps beginning learners and also supports students who struggle with visual distractions. The cards can be used for memory or matching games, where students flip over two at a time and try to find pairs. Another favorite activity in my class has been sequencing: students work together to lay the cards out from 0 to 30. For more active lessons, we sometimes spread the cards on the floor and have students “walk” the numbers in order, which adds movement to the practice. I also use the cards as simple flashcards, holding them up for quick recognition drills, or handing one card to each student and asking the group to line up in numerical order. With partners, students have created their own math problems using the numbers they draw, which adds a layer of challenge for more advanced learners. Differentiation is built in, since you can choose how many numbers to include. With beginners, I usually work with 0–10. As students grow more confident, I extend to 0–20 and eventually the full 0–30. Adding a timer or encouraging students to say each number out loud when they play can make the activity even more engaging. Preparation is straightforward: print the set you want, cut the cards, and laminate if you plan to reuse them. I keep each set in small envelopes or bags so they are ready for math centers, group games, or quick warm-ups. The fall design adds a seasonal touch, but the number practice is useful all year long. Warm regards, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

Miss Marple – A Classic Movie Detective A reading-based worksheet set with optional film tasks (grades 7–10) 🎥🕵️‍♀️ A printable and digital resource This material introduces students to the character of Miss Marple as portrayed by Margaret Rutherford in the classic black-and-white crime comedies based on Agatha Christie’s novels. Whether your students are already familiar with detective fiction or encountering it for the first time, this resource offers a simple and accessible way to combine reading skills, character study, and media analysis. The core of the material is a short informational text that provides background on the character and the actress who portrayed her. Students work with a structured profile sheet and a short quiz to reinforce their understanding. If you choose to watch a Miss Marple film with your class, there are two additional worksheets: one for summarizing the movie plot and one for writing a short review. What’s included: Informational text about Miss Marple and Margaret Rutherford Worksheet to create a character profile Quiz questions with solution key Film content worksheet (optional use) Film review worksheet (optional use) Solutions for all main tasks Format: PDF (print-friendly and digital) How it works in class: This is the kind of resource I like to keep on hand for flexible lessons. It works well as a quiet reading and writing task on its own, or as part of a small media project. Watching one of the Miss Marple films adds variety to the lesson and gives students a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a fun and creative way. The film-related worksheets are structured, so even students with less writing experience can follow along easily. Great for regular lessons, substitute plans, or simply when you want to bring a bit of classic British mystery into your classroom. Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

Fall I Have, Who Has? Game – Numbers and Number Words 0–30

Fall I Have, Who Has? Game – Numbers and Number Words 0–30

Fall I Have, Who Has? Game – Numbers and Number Words 0–30 This autumn version of “I Have, Who Has?” gives students practice with numbers and number words from 0 up to 30 . I like to use it in October, when the seasonal design adds a bit of variety to our math centers. The familiar format makes it easy for students to understand, and the game naturally gets everyone involved. The set includes two complete versions. One uses standard number words, while the other shows the words broken into syllables for students who need extra support with reading. That option has been especially helpful for children who find longer number words like “seventeen” or “twenty-three” difficult to read in one piece. You can decide how many cards to use depending on the group. For beginners, I usually stop at 0–10. As students gain confidence, I extend to 20 and then to 30. This makes the same resource usable across different levels without much extra planning. Playing is straightforward. The student with the start card begins by saying, “I have zero. Who has one?” The next student responds and the chain continues until the last card is read. Because students must listen carefully and wait for their turn, the game encourages attention, listening skills, and turn-taking alongside number practice. I have used this game in whole-class lessons, where everyone sits in a circle and plays together, and in small groups for targeted practice. It also works well for early finishers since once they know the rules, they can play independently. Preparation is simple. Print the cards, cut them apart, and laminate if you plan to reuse them. I store each set in a small envelope labeled with the range (10, 20, 30), so it’s easy to grab the version I need. This activity combines math and literacy practice with teamwork in a way that feels light and seasonal, but the skills—number recognition, word reading, and listening—are useful at any time of year. Warm regards, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.
