Winter Wonderland of Centers

I am so excited to share my winter (snowman/snowballs/mittens) centers with my students when we arrive back from break.  I just HOPE that we have snow when we come back to school.  Christmas is not going to be the same without a blanket of white snow!

All Bundled Up
The students will complete the “All Bundled Up” booklet.  First, the students will put the correct scarf in each sentence.  The students will write the words “The & is” on each page.  Then the students will read the color word on the pocket chart and color the scarf on the snowman the correct color.

Snow Adorable Colors

The students will spin the spinner and color that many snowflakes the correct color.  Then students will play until all the snowflakes are colored.  Finally, the students will count how many of each color and write the number.  

"Snow" Much Addition Fun

The students will pick a colored mitten and color a mitten on the recording sheet that color.  The students will count the snowflakes on each mitten and write the correct number in the addition equation.  Then the students will add the numbers together.     



Frosty And Friendly Numbers
The students will pick a group of colored snowman and put them in order with the question mark in the middle.  Then the students will guess what the middle number is and write it on his/her sheet.



Sledding for Ending Sounds

The students will match the picture with the ending sound (letter) on the sled.  When the students are finished filling all the sleds he/she may write the ending sound (letter) on the recording sheet.

Snowman Word Families

The students will read the CVC word on the snowman.  Then he/she will write the word under the correct word family.   

How To Build A Snowman!
The students will complete the book, “How To Build A Snowman”, by writing the steps on each page.  (Idea adapted from Mrs. Jumps Snomwan Packet on TPT) ~ check it out! At the end of the booklet the students will label the parts of a snowman. 

First, you make two snowballs.

Then, you add eyes and a mouth.

Next, you add a carrot nose and stick arms.

Last, you add a hat and scarf.

Melt A Snowman

Build a snowman with the pieces.  Think of a word and write the number of dashes that equal the number of letters in the word on a piece of paper.  (for example, if the word is FROG you would write __ __ __ __ ).  Your opponent then tries to guess the word by guessing letters.  If your opponent guesses a letter correctly, fill in the corresponding dash with the letter.  If your opponent guesses wrong, take away one body part from your snowman, ending with the hat.  If the opponent guesses the word before the snowman is melted, they win!
