FREEBIE Beginning of the Year Games!

When school starts back and we have to so much to do -- like assess our kids -- these two games for basic letter and number recognition are perfect for your students.  The games are fun and easy enough for the kiddos to do independently while you are able to pull students for individual beginning of the year assessments.  The kids can change groups to get to know each other better and keep it fresh with a new partner.  Go to TeachersPayTeachers to download these games and directions for FREE!


Please let me know if you find these game useful or have any suggestions!  I've created games for every month of the year and I'll be posting them later.   Please FOLLOW ME so you don't miss them!  Thanks!

    Down Under Teacher....Since there were 7 spaces, and one die only goes to 6, I decided to double up on the 4's. In that game there are two 4's to be gotten. Hope that makes sense.

    Everyone -- I'm so glad you like them. They are fun to play.
    Also, I'm enjoying following you all!

    I'm having a hard time on TPT too - but I can't wait to download it! The beginning of the year assessment time is SOOOO hard, so this is great! I think how to deal with first grade assessment time could be a link party all on its own! Haha!

    Thanks for following my blog, I'm a new follower of yours as well! :)
