Are you a kindergarten teacher who carefully plans out all activities for the year in advance, or do you prefer to add activities as the year progresses? I find myself somewhere in the middle. While I have a general plan for the year, I also enjoy introducing new activities as I come across them. Nonetheless, I find it important to have monthly themed math and literacy activities pre-arranged to ensure all academic standards are covered and to make learning fun enjoyable for my little learners. Here are some of my favorite Must-Have Monthly Kindergarten Activities.
Having engaging hands-on activities that are month specific and include math and literacy are a win win for the busy kindergarten teacher. I find these resources handy for the whole group, small groups, stations, and for partner or independent practice to reinforce the academic skills we are focusing on. Take a look at these!
Must-Have Monthly Bundles
Literacy and Math Monthly Bundle
The Year-Long Monthly Activities Bundle is a comprehensive package containing themed activities for 11 months! Each month features literacy and math centers, worksheets, and resources. Can even be used by substitute teachers!!
Count and Match Monthly Bundle
This comprehensive bundle includes 11 months of themed Count & Match Number Sense activities for numbers 1-30. Use these counting mats, along with the additional addition mat, in your math stations or morning buckets. It’s an ideal activity for independent work, partners, or small groups, emphasizing one-to-one correspondence and matching objects to numbers. For added challenge, you can incorporate higher number mats or introduce the addition/subtraction mats.
I am confident that incorporating these monthly math and literacy activities will enhance your kindergarten curriculum. It will streamline your preparation, offer fun hands-on learning experiences, and introduce engaging monthly themes for your little learners. Don’t pass up this opportunity!
