I LOVE my Early Finisher system, but not everyone wants to create a tub and print activities out each month. I totally get that. Teachers also like a system for free centers, free choice, or morning activities. Whichever way you chose to use these Early Finisher Task Cards, they should be compiled of materials in most early childhood classrooms. If the cards are too large for your pocket chart, use your printer feature and print two pages to one. Easy peasy. This set includes 36 card options.

For longevity, I would print these on cardstock and laminate. Then, put them in a ring or store them in those nifty craft organizers they fit perfectly in.

Happy teaching!

Creating an Early Finishers Tub was the best thing I have ever done for my students (and myself). Now when students finish early, there are activities ready to go for them and peace can be maintained while others are still working. In the set, there is a guide as to how I set my tub up and introductions for the activities. I keep about a dozen containers and folders in my tub for each month. That is enough for half of my class (but some are partner activities too). These are activities that can be done over and over, interdependently or with a partner, and quietly. Most importantly, learning has continued after they have finished their current assignments.

Activities include:

• ABC Cards (build sight words, work on ABC order, letter identification)
• Beginning sounds covering letters Pp, Dd, Rr, Ff
• CVC pictures and words
• Sight Words
• Number cards to 20
• Ten frames to 10 along with blank ones.
• Dice games to 50 and 100
• Number puzzles to 12
• Patterning
• Rhyming Words
• Number identification
• Beginning sounds puzzles a-z

Creating an Early Finishers Tub was the best thing I have ever done for my students (and myself). If you read the feedback from other teachers, you will see that so many classrooms are thriving with this system. Now when students finish early, there are activities ready to go for them and peace can be maintained while others are still working. In the set, there is a guide as to how I set my tub up and introductions for the activities. I keep about a dozen containers and folders in my tub for each month.
