Hello
Folder GamesCrafts Games Songs

Folder Games

Sometimes its easier for children to learn if their can make a game out of the lesson.  Over the years I have relied heavily on "Folder Games" because the kids always seem to love it.  I have games for most every lesson ready for purchase or you can make them yourself at no cost.  Just print out the game.  Cut out the pictures, glue half to the inside of a file folder and create hands on learning for every topic!  

Crafts

Twenty plus years in children's ministries has provided me with lots of simple craft ideas.  It doesn't take fancy expensive things to get children excited about the lesson.  Most crafts can be completed with construction paper and simple household items.  Below you can find step by step instructions to basic craft ideas that are sure to entertain your little learners.  

Games

let's face it, sometimes kids just need to get the wiggles out.  Adding a game to your lesson plan may be just what the doctor ordered to help fill the lesson time.

Songs

Jolly is a singer.  There is almost always a song stuck in my head.  Sometimes it is a familiar tune and sometimes it's a Jolly original right off the cuff. Music is a fun way to get children to remember things.  Below you will find song ideas to add to your lesson plans.  

Folder Games

ABC's, 123s, Rhyming, Opposites, and So Much More!

Kids love these and they are fairly easy to make.  Below you will find the printable downloads for each game.  Most games will be 4 pages long.  Print them out, color them if you'd like, cut the pictures out, glue half of the pictures inside of a file folder, and give the remaining cut outs to the child as to be their game pieces!


NOTE: This can be time-consuming task to create, and I've found a few tricks to help in the creation and help protect the game a bit.  Kid's love these but they are usually a little rough on the pieces.  

Trick #1 - print the pages that will go inside the folder on 8.5x11 labels to eliminate the gluing step.  Trick #2 - Cover the folder with contact paper once I've placed the pictures inside.  

Trick #3 - Put contact paper on both sides of the game pieces.  

Trick #4 - Keep all loose pieces in a snack baggie and store inside the folder

Trick #5 - Put the title of the game on the front of the folder to help stay organized.

Trick #6 - Put the instructions to the game on the back of the folder.
