Fun and Games Books

This is a great book to use as a re-teaching source for sequencing. It starts with wordless pictures and progresses to complete stories to be put in the proper sequence. I have found it very helpful in my first grade class.

I bought this book just for some ideas on how to change how I did shared reading. Even though this book is for younger students, I used it many times with my fourth graders.

This a great book! I received it as a gift for my daughter who is almost five. The games are thoughtful and creative. It contains wonderful activities to help your child grow (mentally and physically). It even includes a history on chalk and instructions on how to make your own. It would make a terrific addition to any child's library or gift. Also, I'd revise the age suggestions. You could probably use this book from age 2 to early teens.

Truly captures the mania of the over the top Silicon Valley lifestyle. Pathos and humor were marvelous, a delightful spoof, yet true to reality. I loved the way everyone was sympathetic. Even the villains were overworked, underloved and stressed to the max. It was easy to see why they misbehaved. Michelle Beldatori, the lead character, came across as compassionate and real. Martin Avery as a venture capitalist felt a lot like Bogart in Casablanca - misunderstood, trapped, a good guy caught in a bad place. Silicon Valley Game

What a great collection of puzzles! But filling in all those boxes, scratching out errors... why not do it all on a computer program? This book inspired me to write a java program for play over the web.

I am an ESL teacher who bought this series to help me teach science to English Language Learners. The series is written for native speakers, not ELLs, but the student pages are uncluttered, and the language is not complex. Each text includes a variety of experiments and activities to teach key science concepts.

I've made the lollipop holder and it's adorable! I bought it for the patterns, but her general instructions are wonderful. I find myself referring to it over and over for tips on binding and invisible borders.

This was a great book packed with fun stuff for simspsons fans!

Most visual learners need to learn math by seeing a picture of the concept. This book meets that requirement by using familiar objects in a fun and engaging manner. Kinesthetic learners like to manipulate and touch, and there are plenty of games and activities to satisfy their learning style.

I frequently use math learning centers and these ideas make the activities fun and useful.Memory Tips for Math, Memorization and Learning Styles: The Successful Way to Teach K-5 Math
