A Bright Idea: Keeping Game Cards Organized

It is my favorite time of the month! It is time for the Bright Ideas Blog Hop! :)
 
Today I am here to tell you all about how I make sure that all those tiny little game cards go back into the correct baggy when my littles are doing math centers.
 
To start, you need a bunch of different colored permanent markers.
Then, after laminating the game cards, BEFORE cutting them out, draw a line down the back of each row. Make sure to use a different color for each set!

After that, cut them out and out each set in a baggie labeled with the color.
Here is a close up of what the cards look like with the lines.
Easy peasy for you and for the kids! :) Now when you find a random game card in the bottom of the center bucket, you know exactly where it goes.

  2. Clever! I could definitely use a trick like this for my differentiated centers and it's simple enough for the my kindergartners to figure out too. Thanks for sharing!
