This last school year we completed Homeschool Kindergarten and had a great time. I found out that my daughter would much rather learn through games than by lecture and worksheets. That shouldn’t come as a big surprise to any parent. So this school year I am incorporating more games in our learning.
What is your child’s learning style?
I started this school year pretty organized and my week one lesson plan was done about two weeks in advance. I set up our new curriculum and learning games on the shelf. I also put a couple rolling three-drawer carts in our homeschool room. It is overflowing with activity books, craft supplies, markers, crayons, and so much more. I had to get some extra cardboard boxes to put those things in. It is still a work in progress. I need to go through it all for sure and get rid of some of our stuff.
I need some homeschool room inspiration!
Thankfully, Oriental Trading Company not only has a massive amount of crafts but they also have a large educational department for parents and teachers to utilize. I am so thankful! Here are the five new learning games we have to for 1st grade homeschool:
1. Compound Words – Take turns drawing cards from the picnic basket to make compound words.
2. Learning Money BINGO – Practice coin recognition and counting money with this teacher-led game!
3. Sentence Building Domino Set – Have a blast learning about phonics with this color-coded collection of sentence building dominoes. Teach your grade school students all about the importance of proper sentence structure through creative play!
4. Carnival Math Game – Answer the math equations on the spinner to determine the number of spaces you move your marker – either forward or back!
5. Sight Word BINGO – This educational teacher-led activity includes 16 game cards, bingo markers and calling cards.
You have no idea how excited my daughter is about playing all of these new games. What I love is that Oriental Trading is affordable. So affordable!

I used to order from them all the time for trinkets but didn’t know they had all this. My son is in pre-k twice a week, but do think he needs more learning. Thanks for the info on OT.
I love all their fun trinkets. Great for VBS and birthday parties. But yes, I love their educational items for teachers especially now that I homeschool.
LOVE THIS POST! Thank you for sharing! I am a homeschooling mama to three little boys (TK, 1st, 3rd grades) and I have been looking for fun learning games to use to go with our learning. 🙂
Learning games is where it’s at. And these are great quality and affordable!
Oriental Trading has always been my go to for parties and play things.
We homeschool and I had no idea Oriental Trading had products like these. I love the selection and the low prices.
So do I Kelly. They are really great. We use them for homeschool and for church both!
