File portfolio Games For Preschoolers

Preschoolers should be learning about a wide variety of topics along with shapes, numbers, colors, letters, and more. A great way to teach these basics is with file folder games for preschoolers which are easy and fun to make. They involve printing out distinct patterns or shapes from the computer and then gluing or taping these shapes onto a file folder.

It's best to keep the stray, laminated game pieces in a re-sealable bag that is kept within the file folder. Following are several great ideas for file folder games for preschoolers. These distinct games help to teach many distinct subjects and skills in a fun way.

Using Games to Teach Discrimination Skills

Discriminating in the middle of distinct patterns, facial expressions, etc., is something that preschoolers should learn. To create a game that teaches these skills, first pick a theme for the game. If it is October, for example, select Halloween as the theme.

Print out a amount of faceless jack-o-lanterns (5-10), depending on the students' skill level. Glue these pumpkins on the inside of the file folder. Next, create distinct faces for each of the jack-o-lanterns. Print out two copies of these faces, and glue one set on the faceless jack-o-lanterns.

Laminate the remaining faces and let the fun begin. The goal of the game is for the child to match the face pieces with those jack-o-lanterns with selfsame faces. You can even switch things up and use numbers, letters or patterns (such as polka dots, stripes, etc.) instead of faces.

Using Games to Teach Seriation Skills

Seriation skills involve being able to situate objects in a singular series. This is an additional one skill that can be practiced and perfected with folder games for preschoolers. Again, pick shapes or objects that fit into your theme. If it's springtime, you may want to use flowers for this file folder game.

Print out a amount of differently sized flowers (5-10), depending on the students' skill level. Decorate the folder to suit the flowers. For example, you may want to glue some green grass to the bottom, white clouds in the sky, and a spicy yellow sun in the sky. The goal of this game is for the student to place the flowers in order from smallest to largest, or vice versa.

Using File folder Games to Teach Math Skills

For this preschool math activity, you will again want to select a theme. If it's February, for example, a good theme to use would be Valentine's Day.

Print out a amount of hearts (5-10), depending on the students' skill level. amount each heart, laminate them, and then put them aside. Print out an additional one set of hearts. Using a marker, place one dot on the first heart, two dots on the second heart, and so on.

Glue these dotted hearts on the inside of the file folder. The goal of this game is for the student to match the numbered hearts to the definite dotted heart.

File folder games for preschoolers are both fun and educational. You can even allow the children to participate in the creation of the file folder games so that the experience is doubly fun.

Preschoolers love to imitate. As teachers and parents we want to be a good and godly example for them to follow.

I call this game "Follow My Directions, Please".

For this activity, you will need to prepare any sets of directions. I have given you 8 separate ones down below that you might want to use or adapt for your situation. The other thing you will want to prepare is a nice Scripture board that showcases James 1:22. You are now ready to play this activity.

Here's how to play:

After saying James 1:22, you will pick a child who must ensue the directions you give him. The child will then listen to the directions you give and accomplish them the best they can. You might want to have a treat of some kind to give the child for his success. After each set of directions, say the Bible verse together, then pick a new child to ensue the new set of directions.

Before playing this activity, you might want to introduce the chapter in the following way:

Ok, boys and girls! ensue my directions, please. Touch your toes. (Wait for responses.) Clap your hands 2 times. (Wait for responses.) Spin colse to 2 times. (Wait for responses.) Very good. I'm so glad you followed my directions. God loves it when you allow His directions too. We can't just listen to God. We also have to do what He says. That's what our Bible verse says. James 1:22 says this: "Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves, but do what it says." (Point to your Scripture board as you say the verse. In fact, I all the time break my verses up into small sections and then have the children repeat after me.) Now let's play a fun game to help us learn this Bible verse and learn to ensue directions. Let's play "Follow My Directions, Please."
