Have you seen these great Halloween character boxes
yet? I bought the 3 sets for my
math games. Each set has 2 boxes
of the same character, one big, one small. They each have googly eyes.
I stacked them on my desk and the
kids just thought that they were decoration until math rolled around. They were so excited to see what games
I was able to put into each of the boxes.
I found some little pumpkins and acorns in Target’s dollar
section and knew that they would be perfect counters in a box. I have the kids count (in groups of 10
of course) and then write up their total on a sticky note.
I have 100’s of rubbery bugs that fit well into another box
for counting.
I am a dice addict and have a black pumpkin dice that went
well with the easy pumpkin game. I
also quartered paper for the box.
I added 2 large dice (orange and green) along with some pigs
and numberlines to 50. They roll
the dice and move their piggie along.
For those kids that can
handle it. I have them start to
subtract their piggie after the number 10.
Another box has a plus and minus dice in it with 2 regular
dice and a recording sheet. So the
roll 2 numbers and a plus or minus sign and write that as a math equation on
the sheet.
I had 3 sets of numbers for counting by 5’s to 100. This one is tough for some of my
kiddos.

Here is the Hairy Monster on our door. I found these 2 gigantic googly eyes at Target and I pulled out some Easter grass. The kids had fun creating him. Our custodian wants to know when it's coming down. It's a little messy. He keeps shedding.......Ha Ha
Have a great Halloween! Maybe I should take Friday off....It's gonna be crazy the day after Halloween.
