With January upon us, we are doing some wishful thinking for snow, or at least some fun snow themed learning activities!
But we aren’t quite done with Christmas yet, as all of the bloggers at The Elementary Entourage are excited to bring you some fabulous freebies to make your planning time a little easier!
This snowman addition game is a fun way to get kids adding and building up their fact fluency. Plus, you don’t need many supplies!
*This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.
Supplies Needed:
- The Snowman Spin addition game (below)
- pencil
- paperclip
- crayons
Optional Supplies:
- Dry erase pockets (to put in a center for repeated use and save paper)
We played this game in small groups during math workshop, and it was a hit!
First, take a pencil and a paperclip to make a spinner. Flick the paperclip to spin the first spinner. Then do the same for the second spinner.
Add the two numbers together and color a mitten with the sum! There is also a number line included for support.
To keep the fun going without the extra use of paper, stick the game in a dry erase pocket and use gems or other manipulatives to cover the answers!

More “Christmas Gifts” for you!
The Elementary Entourage is so ready to celebrate Christmas!
We of course have gifts for you and your classroom (see more below!) but we even did a little gift exchange of our own!
This gift exchange was Secret Santa Style – I didn’t know which blogger was sending me something!
When my mail arrived, I was so excited to receive this AMAZING book, plush, and card from the gals at All Y’all Need.
Little Elliot, Big Family is an adorable book that I know my kinders will love. Plus, the plush Elliot makes it that much more exciting (my kids LOVE having characters to match our books!)
So a HUGE thank you to the gals at All Y’all need – what a fun Christmas gift!
