File Folder Game

I've heard many teachers speak of file folder games but I'm not really sure what they're talking about. Could anyone turn me on to some info about them or share your favorites. I'm looking for extra things to incorporate into my small group time of day. Thanks in advance!

File_Folder_Game_Printables-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Send a message ask to join and you will get a quick answer back “Welcome as a member” It is real active right now.

KS6264@aol.com You send a request asking to join Friends File Folder group and tell why you want to join. (home school, teacher and etc.) nothing fast in reply and she wrote once if you don’t get an answer and invited send another request. After getting to be a member check to get file folder games by e-mail, because yahoo won’t let her store them on the site anymore. Also go to files. Connie Roberts her first file is empty go to the second one and click on the first column. Takes some time I almost gave up before it got loaded There are 80 plus file folder files here ready to copy.

It is designed for grades 5/6 but all the activities can be adapted for other grades. There are tons of ideas for file folder games (though they aren't labeled as such) and portable centers. I just browsed through the spelling activities and games and they are great. Lots of things you can copy to Word and print out.

I made mine on pretty colored file folders. Glued a 6x8 envelope on the back to keep the loose parts. I put the loose parts in a zip lock bag. And students don't tear the envelope getting the parts out of the envelope.

Great! Thanks so much for all the links. I look forward to making some of these for my students to use. My school is really pushing for a lot of classroom time to be flexible grouping, so I need to find lots of activities and things to keep students busy while I'm tending to other groups. I figured these simple games would be a great way to keep students occupied if they finish assignments early.

Cannot Find--Need Help

I have not been able to figure out how to get in to the first two items you listed in your file folder activities post. Please let me know exactly how to get to the two areas---one on yahoo groups and one on aol. Thanks for your help.
