About this Resource:
This is a set of 20 activities designed to be used in
Kindergarten morning work tubs. The activities
incorporate common Kindergarten skills in the areas
of literacy, math, fine motor, and more. They require
supplies that many teachers can find in their
classrooms, such as math manipulatives, magnetic
letters, and playdough.
A few things…
Ideas:
- Place activities in plastic tubs and keep
them in a tub organizer.
- Place activities into plastic bags and rotate
them around your students’ tables each
day.
- You can make multiple copies of an activity
and have all of the students at a table do
the same activity.
How to Prepare:
1. Print on cardstock.
2. Cut out and laminate for durability.
3. Place a sticker or a mark on the back of each card to
show the correct answer.
How to Use:
Place the cards and a clothespin in the morning tub
container.
