BUMP Games Monthly Math and Literacy Kindergarten | September
Kindergarten games for math and literacy are ideal for centers! Students can practice their arithmetic and reading abilities with these enjoyable and interesting activities.
These games are enjoyable all year long because of their monthly themes! September’s back-to-school and apple themes are ideal for the start of the academic year. Additionally, I love being able to teach this game structure once, then students can play BUMP with a variety of skills or themes.
With repetition, game-based learning offers practice and mastery! As the math and reading skills are adjusted to fit your scope and sequence or differentiation demands, your students will be able to master the game’s structure.
According to research, students spend more time and are more engaged when working on a task, which leads to active learning rather than passive learning. Plus, implementing games into your curriculum is an easy way to make learning fun!
