Hi everyone! I am really excited to have reached 10,000 followers on TpT recently! It truly is hard believe! And of course I have to thank all of those who have helped me! That’s why I have decided to celebrate with 7 days of Freebies!    10,000 Follower Celebration - October 21-27 Each day I will have a Surprise Freebie as one of my paid products becomes a freebie for the day! From October 21-27, 2015, you can download 7 of my paid products – one each day – for free!  I want each day to be a surprise so I am not going to tell you what the Freebies will be but... Here is a hint for each day! Day 1 - You will really Fall for this! Day 2 - Bump, Bump, Bump! Day 3 - Kids will FLIP over these! Day 4 - Not a worksheet in SIGHT but lots of GAMES! Day 5 - The games are Multiplying! Day 6 - Just Print and Play! Day 7 - It's time to give THANKS! By the end of this week of giveaways, you will have more than 100 games and activities! All you have to do is visit my store to see...

Thought this sounded like fun when I found it on http://thebendersbunch.blogspot.com . So why not give it a go yourself and link up with "Teaching My 3" for a Top Ten Linky party.   Here are my Top 10 Reasons for Games in My Classroom    1. Fun for the kids and for me! 2. Engaging - kids get so motivated! 3. Learning without realizing it! The kids learn heaps but think they are just playing! 4. Great way to introduce new concepts and get kids interested. 5. Great way to review concepts instead of boring drills or worksheets! 6. Makes them think! Love games that really make kids think! 7. Easy to prepare - Some of my favorites require no preparation! 8. Great time fillers for the last 5 minutes of the day. And the kids go home happy when they finish the day with a game! 9. Teaches good sportsmanship and fairplay even if it is not a sport! 10. Develops leadership - I love letting the kids run the game and watching them develop leadership skills!
