Free Cupcake Shapes Match File Folder Game

Need a simple and effective way to teach shapes?  Enter file folder games.

You could also forgo the file folder and simply make a memory & match game for slightly older kids.  These printables could also make a fun shape matching math center.

My son’s autism preK is huge on file folder games, and I know I used them in my primary grade classrooms. The teaching world needs more free file folder games.

I really think this cupcake shapes game is one of the best file folder games out there.  Even better, because it’s free.  That’s how much we love you.

 Adorable, right?

Your preschoolers and kindergarteners will eat this up.

    Please do not refer to a rhombus as a diamond. It is very difficult to get first and second graders to change their vocabularies when they learn the wrong word. A diamond is a hard rock that becomes a precious jewel. It is not a shape. Our students are required to use the correct terminology-rhombus. I hope you will update your products to reflect the correct term.
    Thank you,
    Linda

      I totally agree! I spent 9 years trying to get that simple little concept across, thanks to pre-K and day care teachers who did not know any better. The current Kinder and 1st grade curriculae are enough without having to RE-teach things learned at a very tender age!

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
