How many of you use Color By Code activities in your classrooms? For younger students this concept can be a little confusing but this is a great way to reinforce skills in a very fun way.
For preschoolers this can be a great way to practice letter or number recognition. For early elementary school students this can be a great option for early finishers or morning work that is fun but still educational. These can reinforce all kinds of things; addition, subtraction, fractions to decimals, sight words, spelling words, even algebra and science!
This week I have a FREE sample of my Color by Code: Valentine's Day activity. This Color by Code activity combines letter and number recognition. It also includes an option with only 3 choices for those very beginning learners who don't quite get the concept.
A teacher friend of mine said this, "We have been trying to teach our prek how to do these for almost 2 weeks and although most get the concept and enjoy it, we have about 4-5 students that just don't get it. Only having 3 different colors may make the concept a lot easier for them finally. Thank you."

She downloaded this freebie and used it with her students. A few days later, she sent me this update: "Worked out so much better! She actually understood the concept AND got the colors right AND put more effort into finishing. The other paper on the right was the best of her previous efforts and you can see the difference."
As you can see in the sample below, on the right, this student has barely colored the page and what they have colored is not always correct. In the sample on the left she has completely colored in the entire image and all three colors are in the correct places. I believe that this will give this student confidence to complete another Color by Code activity and know that they can accomplish it without frustration or anxiety.
