Numeracy:
Oh no seven! (just add dice for an addition game, google dice games and you'll come up with plenty more)
Mystery letter (I copied their monster/number grid, but included my own sums, allowing me to add a little variety and change the letter/number that was hidden in the grid)
I have, who has (made up my own basic template as it is easier to do than to find one I like which looks easy to read. Of course, a blank template is not limited to numeracy and can be done as an early finisher activity for a small group or a whole class activity)
Why so few numeracy sheets? I tend to find the class already has maths games the children love or number charts and dice I use for games without sheets, so the demand for such activities is very low. I also have my 31 math challenges freebie for a back-up when needed.
Literacy:
Scattegories (a simple version for students which could be used to introduce nouns, just add a timer or have students yell 'stop' when the first person fills their page)
Nursery Rhyme Reading Mazes (this one costs $7, but I like the idea enough to DIY one which fits with a theme, text, or level that I find myself in often)
Spelling Battleship (designed in such a way that it can be used with any word list, so long as it fits, so win for differentiation!)
DIY comic strip (students can create pictures and text in the provided bubbles for a fun story-telling method)
Complete the comic strip (theme and pictures already provided, students are challenged to create a dialogue between the two characters on their first day of school)
Hangman (Okay, no link here to a resource, I basically just typed up the letters and made a quick template myself)
That's it for now, but what more does a girl need? What resources do you bring out time and time again for early finishers?
