It's been a long time since I've written a post about independent work tasks, but I wanted to get one in before the end of the school year. At this time of year, I am starting to realize how many pieces are missing from games and center tasks wonder where they all go. I swear my classroom is like the Bermuda Triangle! One minute all the pieces are all there, then next some are missing, never to be found again! At this time of year, I am tired of looking for the missing pieces and am tempted just to throw out the entire game. But, we have limited resources and funding, so I stop myself and think about how the game can be salvaged. And the most obvious solution is making them into independent work tasks!
These will be the easiest work tasks that you ever make. Literally no prep time, and no cost, since they are already resources you have in your classroom! All of these tasks are made from old games or center tasks that we had in our classroom that we couldn't use anymore due to missing pieces. These ones were made from lotto games we had with multiple boards and matching pieces, but some of the pieces went missing, so we were no longer able to use them as lotto games. Now they are matching tasks!
These ones were made from counting peg sets.
And this one is made from a spelling puzzle flashcard set that has missing cards.
And this last one is one of the few cards we had left that had that matching pieces!

Until next time,
