I am loving File Folder Activities lately. They do take some time because it's a lot of cutting out and coloring. But, they are so great to take to Church or the Doctor's office. Anywhere that you need to help keep the kids quiet and occupied =) There are a lot of free resources online, just search for "free file folder games" and you'll find some. There are many more that I want to do, but I started with the ones from HERE because you can print them out in color and they are very cute!! There are also many more links on that page. So, it is a great place to start! I also found a few good ones from HERE for my older daughter because it has some reading and math ones.
I used my trusty laminator that I got from Target for around $25 about a year ago. I love this thing, it has come in very handy for my music class and church callings, etc. {Well, pretty much any office supply item can get me very excited. I love notebooks, my laminator, my label maker, I love office supply stuff...LOL.}
Here is an example of a few of the File Folder games that I made for my kids
I put about 4 of the folders in each binder
and I used a laminated piece of cardstock for the pocket to hold the little pieces for each game. You can also just use a ziplock and maybe just put it right in one of the the binder holes with each folder.
I also used my lovely label maker to put the name of each game on the folder tab.
I love how they turned out and my kids love them also. The next ones I make I will probably take the file folders to get laminated as well just so they will last longer.
