SMARTBoard Anagrams {and a Freebie}

Howdy All!    Two wonderful, yet busy weeks have come to an end...tomorrow will be my first day back.  I will be missing break, however I'm super excited to see all those cute faces again! 

I wanted to share my kiddos favorite center with you... Anagrams on the SMARTBoard. My kids LOVE these! Anagrams are basically word scrambles.  Each ball has a letter on it, the kids have to unscramble each word by moving the balls around to receive points.  There is a clue button if the word is tricky for them.  I use it as a spelling or word work center.  

The Anagram template can be found by doing a search in the gallery.  You can then plug in words of your choice (FYI each word must contain 3 letters or more).  Anagrams can be used for sight words, spelling words, vocabulary words, etc.  Each slide 5 words, once the children have solved the five words on each slide they advance to the next slide.    

In SMART Notebook- search for "anagram" in the gallery section

I have created two files containing Fry's first 50 words for you and words 51-100. You will need SMART Notebook software to use these files.

Anagrams on the SMART Boards {Freebie}

Hi Everyone!   I hope your week is off to a great start!    If you have a SMART Board or an I.W.B. that runs SMART Notebook,  check out my post about Anagrams on my sister site Technology Tailgate. This is my kiddos favorite center! You can also download this great little {freebie} there as well. 

Thankful and Gobble Gobble {FREEBIE}

I'm feeling thankful for great blogging and teaching friends!  Here's a little SMART Board game to practice Fry's first 50 words for our youngest learners. This can be played whole group or in a center.  I tend to use this activity for use with my RtI, guided reading groups or in a center for review.  My little ones just love activities on the SMART Board!   

I hope everyone has a delightful and relaxing Thanksgiving break!  How will you be spending your Thanksgiving vacation??
