1,000 Follower Spectacular – Day 3
It’s here, it’s here! I finally made it to 1,000 followers. I’m so excited! I wanted to have a small huge celebration. So big it would take an entire week to celebrate! Each day will includes spectacular new games, $1 Deals & freebie steals, and much, much more! You can find out more with in my 1,000 Follower Spectacular Invitation.
Let’s begin with the Gift Card giveaway of the Day! Today, you can win a $25 gift card to Starbucks. Although I don’t drink coffee, I love their Vanilla Bean Frappuccino. Mmmmm. Just thinking about it make me wanna get one!
Today’s $1 Deal is for 2nd grade teachers. 2nd grade holds a special place in my heart. It was the grade I taught before I had to leave to classroom and I miss it so much. One topic I loved doing with them was measuring. Hence, this game was born!
In this “Find the Star” game, students answer 25 questions to find stars hidden behind 25 blocks. There are 7 stars to find and students have to answer questions correctly to be able to choose a square.
When it comes to measuring, the first thing comes to mind is tools. Students are measuring different lengths of nails. Sizes range from 1 inch to 12 inches.
For anyone who uses the Metric system, let me know and I will make a Centimeters version for you.

Today’s freebie is about compound words. A new topic to try. My 2nd graders loved playing puzzles games with compound words and since my “Who Am I” Community Helpers game is a big hit, I thought I’d try it with compound words.
In this game, students are given 3 clues to an object that is a compound word. Some words are easy while others are a little tricky. This will be a great game fore review or circle time.
If you’d like me to make a full game for this, let me know.
You can get this game for free all this week.
That’s all for today. Be sure to stop by my Facebook page for some flash freebies starting at/around 5 pm EST. Click “Get Notifications” so you’ll know when they start!

Let’s begin with the Gift Card giveaway of the Day! Today, you can win a $25 gift card to Target. I love shopping at Target, especially at the beginning of the school year. I hate love the dollar section. Makes me spend most of my money before I even get into to the store.
Today’s $1 Deal is for 1st grade teachers. I don’t remember using popsicle sticks or straws when I was in school, but when I did my observations in college, I saw them A LOT. Alas, I decided to make a game with them.
In this game, students must determine the number of tens and ones with the groups of popsicle sticks. This game is perfect as a whole class activity or small group intervention.
There are individual popsicle sticks as well as bundled sticks. There are 20 questions in all and a cute popsicle face on every question. =)

Today’s freebie is about Pronouns. I have a few noun games, but now it’s time to give some love to the other parts of speech.
In this game, each question has a sentence with a noun the needs to be replaced with a pronoun (pretty self-exclamatory). There are 3 pronouns to choose from so students don’t pick easier ones.
This is just a small sample. If you’d like me to make a full game for this or even a bundle of games), let me know. I”m think maybe a huge parts of speech bundle. Who knows. =P
