Hands-On Games Your Students Will LOVE!

K-5 teachers, let me tell you a secret...

You don’t need brand-new centers every week to keep students engaged.

Teach 5 easy-to-learn game formats once.

Then, just swap in new skill cards as the year goes on.

It’s that easy!

💡 Same games. Fresh skills. Real learning.

With 180+ hands-on games, here’s what happens:

✨ Center time becomes the best part of the day
✨ Engagement climbs—and so does skill mastery
✨ Students stay focused, and you finally get your time back

Remember: Teach once. Use all year. ✅

This is the kind of practice kids truly enjoy.

Worksheets don’t spark excitement — but games do! These 5 hands-on formats turn everyday practice into something your students can’t wait to play. Prep once, use all year, and keep learning fresh with 180+ ways to build skills that stick.

Simply grab the bundle that fits your grade and subject, and you’re all set for a year of hands-on games!

Have you ever felt this way?

  • You keep reinventing the wheel. Every week feels like you’re starting from scratch—creating new games and activities, reteaching the same directions again and again.

  • The excitement doesn’t last. Kids light up when something new shows up… but five minutes later, the novelty wears off and the format feels repetitive.

  • Differentiation feels endless. You’re making multiple versions of the same activity—or dealing with one student who’s finished while everyone else is still working.

  • Sub plans turn into stress. An unexpected absence hits, and there’s nothing easy to leave that’s still engaging and meaningful.

  • Review feels stale. Students need fluency with facts and skills, but the worksheets and flashcards just don’t stick.

  • Your weekends disappear. Laminating, cutting, and organizing take over—only for it all to pile up again a few months later.

  • You just want something that works. Something that keeps kids engaged, saves you prep time, and is flexible enough for any classroom situation.

That’s why the Hands-On Game Bundles were created!

To make your life easier all year long! 

A little prep at the start sets you up with games you can grab again and again, not just this year but for years to come.

Once they’re ready, they’re ready. 🙌

No constant recreating or scrambling for something new.

The games bring math and reading practice to life, keep kids engaged, and work for centers, sub days, early finishers, or whole-class review.

Set up once and you’re set for life!

✅ Yes! You’ll get instant access to your games after purchase — print what you need, when you need it.

✍️ Teachers love using them for centers, small groups, early finishers, skill review, partner work, or quick warm-ups. They’re also great to leave for a sub!

✍️ These games were made by a teacher who knows time is tight — you can prep a few at a time, or just print a single game and be ready tomorrow.

✅ Absolutely! That’s the point — prep once, store in a bin or folder, and pull them out again and again all year (and every year)! 🎉

✍️ Most games are print, cut, and go! Many teachers prep them once, store them in folders or baggies, and reuse them all year long.

The Build It and Grab It games come in both color and black & white, while the Playing Cards, Dominoes, and Crosswords are black & white but look great printed on fun colored paper! A digital version of the Build It and Crossword Puzzles are included too!
