Garden Path File Folder Games

They also wanted some of the spaces to have special instructions, like roll again, move 2 spaces back, return to start, etc.

Of course, when they were done decorating, it was time to play! Grab some dice or a spinner and a couple of figurines for markers. We used bugs, of course!

We have made other theme games, such as ocean exploration with little fish markers, a drive through the city with little cars, and princess land with dress-up rings as our markers – anything your child can think of! Also, if you laminate the folder after your child decorates it (or cover it with clear contact paper), you can use a vis-a-vis/overhead projector pen to write letters, numbers, shapes, sight words, etc. on the spaces. When you want a new game, just wipe-off with a little water and start over! Plus these are easy to store – just fold them up and tuck them into a magazine file.

Happy playing!
