Kindergarten homework choice boards are the perfect bridge between teaching in the classroom and learning at home. This resource includes carefully selected, developmentally appropriate Kindergarten-friendly activities, so you can be confident that you are sending your students home with academic, fun, and hands-on activities each week for the whole school year.

Each week includes math and literacy activities (including reading, phonics/phonemic awareness, and sight words) with alternating science and social studies activities, and alternating fine motor and gross motor activities.

These are practical activities that parents can do with their children. They are minimal prep and use basic household supplies: buttons, paper and writing instruments, stuffed animals, cereal, tweezers or tongs, index cards or sticky notes, etc.

There are 40 weeks of choice boards included – for a total of 360 activities . You can send home one each week as homework. Or in the event of distance learning, you could digitally send a choice board to your students each week**.

Included in this resource -40 weeks of activities. Each week includes 9 activities and an editable space for you to write a message, directions, or sight words/letters to practice. -Parent letter explaining these boards with a blank editable template -Editable blank choice board

To help keep you organized, the choice boards are labeled by week in the upper right corner.

This resource also includes a note to parents explaining the choice boards and how to use them. If you would prefer to write your own letter to your parents, an editable version is provided.

There are optional resource and reference pages such as letter cards and number cards that you can send home to families. Or you can have parents create their own at home. You can also use these resources to create homework folders. The activities do not mention the reference pages, so you can decide whether to send them.

To prepare these Kindergarten homework choice boards, send home the parent letter at the beginning of the year along with the Week 1 choice board. There is an editable section at the bottom of each board. Use this for listing new sight words, letters you want students to practice, or any other information you’d like to share with parents.

**Please note that the Kindergarten Homework Choice Boards MAY NOT be uploaded to a public, non-secure website or platform. This includes but is not limited to classroom websites and school or district websites. You MAY share these with your classroom families via e-mail, Google Classroom, or another secure password-protected platform that is only accessible to your students.

Choice Boards to use at Home

When it comes to long breaks, extended time away from school, or even homework/packets for Kindergarten I try to stay away from worksheets. I wanted to give an alternative to worksheets that can be beneficial during these times. My 6 choice boards are free, just click on the picture at the top or at the bottom of this post. It comes with 2 for reading, writing, and math and will last for 2 weeks. Also, I have weekly lesson plans for distance learning if you need more activities.

What are choice boards?

Choice Boards are similar to bingo boards, students try to get 5 in a row by picking spots they choose to complete. By picking one reading, one writing and one math a day, Monday through Friday, they can get 5 in a row. Teachers can give out rewards if brought back signed/ completed or even allow the parents to choose a reward for every bingo they get. The possibilities of how to exactly play are up to you or the parents. Students could have to fill up the whole board during an extended period of time or provide writing samples. As the teacher, you could use the choice boards in the classroom for fast finishers. Also, I love using my Target Mini Erasers to cover up the spots on the choice boards. To read more about how I use mini erasers throughout the year, click here .

What is on the choice boards?

All 6 choice boards are completely different, there are 2 for each area (reading, writing, and math) but you can pick which ones your students would benefit from and which are appropriate for your student’s needs.

First, the reading boards include spots that say where students read during that time. Examples include, in the bathtub with pillows and blankets or under an umbrella and pretending like it is raining. The other reading board gives ideas to do before and after reading. Examples include finding digraphs or blends in your book or writing about the character’s problem.

Next, is the writing boards, one includes writing prompts, for example, if you were a pirate, what would you do? The other writing board is all about writing sight words. Students write their words in bubble letters or write their sight words in alphabetical order.

Last, the math boards are more geared toward Kindergarten standards. One board includes addition and subtraction word problems and the other boards ask questions about shapes, base ten blocks, ways to make 10, and more.

What else can you use with this?

Some other materials that I like to send home with my parents that go along with these choice boards are my writing templates, sight word games, and my writing checklist.

My writing templates include 14 different templates and 4 different line styles which are over 50 different pages. These would be perfect to staple together with the writing choice boards or the reading choice boards on which they can write their responses on. I mean you could even use the math choice boards where students will write their answers on them and staple them together for easy grading. Click on the photo below or here to view the templates.

My sight word games go along with the writing choice board that has students write their sight words in different ways that are engaging. There are over 25 games included and the games come with writing sheets to check work. Some of the games include connect 4, tic tac toe, dot to dot, and more! Click on the photo below or here to view these games.

The last thing I always send home when I include any sort of writing activity is my 5-star writing checklist for students to use on their own work. This promotes students to assess their own work and create independence. Click on the photo below or here to view the checklist.

Lastly, make sure you grab these free-choice boards, and be sure to tag me on Instagram if you use them. Also, grab some other free digital learning resources over at thelimitlessclassroom.com
