These child made, dad-focused games are ideal gifts for Fathers Day. Two principles are being addressed here: the celebratory nature of Fathers Day and the gift of valuable time. The games are not just for Dad: they are a way to spend precious moments of fun time with Dad and his family. The 6 gameboards you get will not be your typical dots and squares games (or some like to say dots and boxes) The different gameboards have various themes and are a little more challenging that the original dots and squares game. These themes are: Fishing Dad Golf Dad Sports Dad Games Dad Adventure Dad Need for Speed Dad If none of these themes reflect Dad’s interests, a plain dots and squares board is provided so that the child can fill in special memories of dad or other things that Dad likes to do. How customized is THAT? To play the games, simply insert the game board into a clear sheet protector, write with dry erase markers, then when the game is over ( I hope you “let” Dad win on Fathers Day) clean off the plastic protector with a tissue and the game is ready to play again and again! Instructions for all games are included. A Father’s Day poem is as well…product doubles as a card and gift.

Make your classroom decor fun and “brainy” this year! With so many of us at home in the past few months, family and friends have re-discovered board games. Their usage has reminded us how much fun these games can be and that learning actually occurs while playing. (don’t tell the kids) I have extended this wave of retro gaming into a classroom theme borrowed from an old classic. This resource comes with Scrabble-look game board backgrounds (choices of pastels, primary colors or brights) for your bulletin boards and signs. Letter tiles come in various sizes (largest is 7"x 7") and colors (wood look too). Many of these are editable so you can get exactly the color or size you want. Just about everything you need to get your classroom ready for the new school year is in this resource. A scrabble-look bulletin board is the focal point. The student names are spelled out with letter tiles and are connected like a crossword. You will find supplies labels (large and small), class schedule sign, center signs, job signs, classroom alphabet, calendar, door decor, student desk nameplates, welcome banner, 7 first days activities, and more …all done in this “scrabble-like” motif. Power Point.
