Buddy Binders

Are you always looking for extension activities for your kiddos?

Do you ever wonder how to get two kiddos to work together ‘nicely’ who struggle?

Or do you have ever kiddos who work so hard and you want to reward them somehow?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then my newest creation is just what you need!  It is even organized into binders for easy storage and easy access for students!

Check out my Buddy Binders! 

There is one for ELA and one for Math.  They are available in my TPT Shop together and sold separately.

Your probably thinking… Well, what the heck is a Buddy Binder!?

Let me tell you!  I am so very excited.  One day Lyndsey from A Year of Many

Firsts and I were talking about how there is never enough storage in the classroom- where should we put things, how should we store them- the usual conversation.  Then binders came up.  I thought hmmm… how could I make this work.  I wanted to create Math and ELA activities for the entire year.  Something that could be revisited multiple times during the year and still engage the kiddos and provide meaningful practice and creative outlets.

So BUddy Binders popped into my head!  I thought that if the activities required a buddy, it would be easier to require less copies to be made once it is assembled.  It would also allow for students to learn and practice working with different classmates.

These binders are ideal for grades 2nd-4th.

Uses for the binder:

- Early finishers
- Students who need improvement on social skills
- Reward for great choices/behavior
- Classmates who need to learn to work together

I created 14 Math and 14 ELA activities. 

Let me give you a sneak peek into the Math activities first:

Here are the ELA activities:

I included two options for labels in the pack.  I used the labels on the folder for each of the games and on the envelopes to hold the additional supplies. The envelopes are obviously optional, but I chose to use them to keep everything very clearly organized for my kiddos.

I then stored the envelopes and the additional supplies (dry erase markers, erasers, dice, and cards) in a basket.  I will keep these baskets next to the binders on the shelf.

If you think these are something you can use, check them out in my shop below!
