Cookies & milk!! Every preschooler’s favorite snack! My preschooler absolutely loves eating cookies (or “tookies” as she likes to say). This free printable pack of cookie games for preschoolers is a great way to use kids’ love for cookies to get them excited about learning. Of course, you may need to provide some real cookies along with it… Plus, these coordinate perfectly with our fun bakery pretend play printable, so you can have even more cookie fun!
Materials needed for the Free Printable Cookie Games for Preschoolers:
Paper & scrapbook paper (see tip below)
2 Paper fasteners
2 Paper clips
Game markers
What’s included in the Cookie Games Pack?
Spin & Cover Game
To prep: Print and laminate the Spin & Cover Game. Use the scissors to gently poke a hole at the center of the spinner. Place the paper clip on the brad and slip the brad into the hole that you created. Open the backing of the brad and tape the “legs” of the brad to the back of the game board to secure it.
To play: Spin the spinner. Cover a picture that matches the animal that the paper clip landed on. You can play with two players using two colors of game markers or you can just play with one player.
Spin & Graph Game
To prep: Print and laminate the Spin & Cover Game. Use the scissors to gently poke a hole at the center of the spinner. Place the paper clip on the brad and slip the brad into the hole that you created. Open the backing of the brad and tape the “legs” of the brad to the back of the game board to secure it.
To play: Spin the spinner. Color one box on the graph to show which picture the paper clip landed on. Continue spinning until one of the graph lines reaches the top. Then, fill in the blanks with the correct number to show how many times each animal was spun.
Memory Game
To Prep: Print on the white side of scrapbook paper and laminate. The scrapbook paper makes it so that the kids can’t see through the cards to cheat. Cut out the cards.
To Play: Place the cards face-down on the table. The first player turns over two cards to find a match. If a match is found they try again, if a match is not found it’s the next player’s turn. Winner has the most matches at the end of the game.
Sorting
To Prep: Use the same cards that you prepared for the memory game. You can also print extra copies for more opportunities for practice.
To Use: You can start by having the kids sort the cards according to the pictures on the card. This is a simple matching activity. Then you can talk about sorting by attributes. Such as sorting milk & cookies. Or sorting chocolate chip cookies and sandwich cookies.
Patterning
To Prep: Again use the same cards that you prepared for the memory game and sorting activities.
To use: Introduce patterns to your preschoolers by starting with a simple ABAB pattern. There are endless opportunities for differentiation when it comes to the pattern cards. You are only limited by the number of cards that you print.
