Filefolderheaven.com

FileFolderHeaven.com is a site that I've seen before, but never posted about.  Natalie (creator and owner) recently contacted me and shared it again so I decided to check it out more.  The site is pretty simple and she describes it like this:

Our printable file folder games and preschool activities offer students a fun way to practice basic pre-academic and academic skills. These file folder games provide students many opportunities to practice a wide variety of classroom skills at their level. Special Education teachers, preschool teachers, general education teachers and parents enjoy using file folder games and preschool printables because they are inexpensive learning tools, simple to assemble, and easy to store.

I really like the premise of the site, simple easy to use tools that are easy to create and utilize.  As the name suggests all the materials are available for download and printing to put in file folders and create activities.  They also have a section of Interactive books available for download.  FileFolderHeaven also has a section of free downloads.  One section that I especially liked where the Word Family Books.  Each book comes with a book & several games to play with the book.  It seems like a great way to support reading!

If you are interested in checking out FileFolderHeaven.com, please also check out their Facebook Page - FileFolderHeaven Facebook or follow them on Twitter - @FFHeaven.

SuperTeacherTools

I heard about a fun site from Angela Maiers (@angelamaiers) on Twitter.

SuperTeacherTools is a site for easy to use, flash games and utilities.   It includes Flash Jeopardy,

a seating chart generator,

a random name generator


and several others.  It's easy to use, customize and free!  I was able to set up a class list within minutes and start using the site.  Have fun checking this one out!

Academic Skill Builders

Twitter strikes again in today's post! Academic Skill Builders is a great site for practicing all sorts of skills. Most of the games are multi-player and are easy to play! You can play against random people, or you can set up a private game for students to play against each other in a safe setting. There are many math skills to work on and also a good amount of language arts games! These games would be great on a SMARTboard or for use in a computer lab. Check it out today!

uptoten.com

AnneMarie of Talking SMARTBoards posted a great website today called Uptoten.com. The site is designed for children ages 10 and under and has many features. There is a free, ad supported section, a premium section, and a educational section. Educators can sign up for a free account, which is ad free. I've been playing around with the site and found several nice features:

-You can sign up 10 students to have their own account
-The site allow students to save favorite activities
-There are several simple, switch accessible games, including a left/right activity to catch snowflakes.
-Coloring activities to do online and offline
-No advertisements
-No external links
-Open full screen

The site would work very well on a SMARTBoard or on a large screen. Make sure to check out Talking SMARTBoards for other activities you can use!

FileFolderHeaven.com

File Folder Heaven was recommended to me by a teacher I met at a recent workshop. There are many books of file folder activities, and these are pretty much the same thing. One nice feature is that the files are already colored (unlike the stack of 150 pages in my classroom uncolored at this time!), and are conveniently in a word document format. There are several free file folders, but the majority are available for purchase. The price is quite reasonable 10 - 11 file folder games for $3.50.

There is also a interactive book section. The books are also in word format, and are interactive in the "off-line" sense, they have movable words and such to use in the classroom. The books are themed and come bundled with several themed file folder games. The interactive book bundles are $5.00 a piece.

So check out File Folder Heaven, and get some cheap pre-made visual activities!

Poisson Rouge

Anne marie over at Talking Smartboards & more has posted a site called Poisson Rouge. It's really a great site for kids to explore and play. No directions that I could find, but lots to look at and do. Definitely geared toward younger students.

Have fun looking around!
