Each completed set includes: A themed maze page. A simple student instruction strip. An answer key showing the solved path for teacher support or self-checking Themes Included These mazes cover a wide range of fun, age-appropriate themes, including: Seasons & Holidays (e.g., Halloween, Easter, Valentine’s Day) Math-Lite Connections (e.g., quick counts, number words) Everyday Topics (e.g., Animals, Weather, School) Special Units (e.g., Health, Earth Day, Sports, Kindness) Each topic reflects students’ real-life experiences and interests while strengthening problem-solving, visual scanning, and fine-motor control in a playful, highly visual way.

Math Writing Sheets with Decorative Grid Boxes
Seasons, Holiday & Seasonal, Summer, Spring, Common Core, Math, Early Math, Graphing, Basic Operations, Geometry, Homeschool Templates, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Projects, Classroom Decor, Bulletin Boards, Posters, Teacher Tools, Templates, Diagrams
Math Writing Sheets with Decorative Grid Boxes Printable graph paper with a subtle design twist – for math tasks, creative problem solving, or structured writing 📐✏️ PNG + PDF These decorative math sheets combine practical structure with visual appeal. Designed especially for math lessons, they feature a box-style ruling (also known as graph or squared paper) and gentle decorative elements that frame the workspace without distracting from the task. The colors of the rulings match the surrounding design, giving each page a calm and balanced look. Whether you’re preparing math exercises, practicing place value, or creating space for geometry sketches – these sheets provide a flexible foundation. The structured grid supports clear number alignment and helps students organize their work, especially those who benefit from visual guidance. What’s included: A variety of printable decorative worksheets with math box rulings Rulings in colors matched to the design Subtle seasonal or subject-neutral decorations PDF format – for printing or use in digital notebooks (e.g. GoodNotes, Notability) PNG Format How I use them in class: I often reach for these sheets when I want to give a task a more finished or thoughtful appearance. Students use them for solving equations, drawing coordinate grids, or organizing data. They also work well for math journaling or scaffolded tasks, where a clear layout makes thinking visible. The design encourages careful work without being overwhelming – especially useful for students who struggle with messy layouts or find blank pages intimidating. Because the visuals are gentle and age-neutral, they’re suitable from upper elementary through secondary levels. They can also serve as project covers, learning logs, or a base for differentiated tasks. Sometimes, it’s these small details – like using a well-designed worksheet – that make students take their work a little more seriously. Best, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Chemistry Game: Who Has it? – A Playful Way to Explore the Elements
STEM, Science, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences, Easter, Holidays, Holiday & Seasonal, Spring, Seasons, Homeschool Templates, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Task Cards, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Quizzes, Word Problems, Word Searches, Worksheets
Chemistry Game: Who Has It? – A Simple and Engaging Chemistry Game for Learning the Chemical Elements If you teach chemistry, you know that learning the periodic table isn’t always easy for students. Memorizing element symbols and names can feel overwhelming, and worksheets don’t always help. This game is a simple, interactive way to make learning these concepts more natural. "Who Has It?" is an easy-to-use call-and-response game that gets the whole class involved. Instead of staring at a periodic table, students hear and say element names, making the learning process more active. How It Works Each student receives one or more cards. One student starts by saying, “I have sodium. Who has magnesium?” The student with magnesium continues, and the game moves forward until all elements have been matched. It’s simple, effective, and keeps everyone engaged. Why Teachers Like It It turns memorization into an active process. All students participate, listen, and respond. It’s flexible – you can play with just a few students or a whole class. No extra prep – just print the cards and start. Some teachers like to time the game to add a challenge, while others use it as a quick warm-up before introducing new elements. What’s Included? A full set of printable game cards featuring element symbols and names. Different levels of difficulty – use only names, only symbols, or a mix. An editable format so you can adjust it to your class needs. This is a great way to break up traditional lessons and get students learning chemistry in a more natural, low-stress way. If you're looking for an easy way to help students become more confident with the periodic table, this might be worth trying in your classroom. Best, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

Get ready to gobble up some creativity with the Thanksgiving Traditions Writing Prompt! This fun and festive activity gets kids thinking about what makes their Thanksgiving celebrations uniquely theirs, whether it’s a feast fit for royalty or a day spent dodging burnt stuffing disasters. Writing and drawing take center stage in this perfect blend of reflection and hilarity. First, students will dive into their family’s traditions. Do they watch football with a side of pie? Go on a turkey trot that’s more “stroll” than “run”? Or perhaps their family’s tradition involves grandma’s famous sweet potato casserole (with a marshmallow topping so high it needs its own zip code). Kids will craft their best descriptive writing, sharing the quirks, laughs, and delicious details of their Thanksgiving Day. Next comes the artistic twist! Students will illustrate their favorite tradition. Whether it’s a turkey-shaped centerpiece, a chaotic kitchen scene, or Uncle Bob snoozing in front of the TV with pumpkin pie crumbs, these drawings bring their stories to life. This activity isn’t just about celebrating Thanksgiving traditions, it’s about discovering what makes the holiday truly special: food, family, and enough laughs to stuff your heart as full as your plate!
