This January snowmen search and find centers free download includes hands-on phonics and math activities that build decoding and number sense skills. Perfect for January literacy and math centers, small groups, and independent practice.
This January Snowmen Search and Find Centers Free Download includes hands-on phonics and math activities designed to build foundational reading and number sense skills through engaging, interactive practice.
Students can match letters, CVC words, blends, and digraphs, or work on number sense skills such as ordering numbers, finding missing numbers, and solving addition and subtraction problems within 20. Each center uses visual mats that pair perfectly with manipulatives like colored cubes, allowing students to search, match, and build understanding through hands-on exploration.
The snowmen theme keeps students engaged while supporting meaningful phonics and math instruction throughout January.
💬 If you are new to the search and cover mats let me take a moment to explain how you “play” them. Students will use the “code” on the right side. For example, the first picture is “zap” so they will search and cover all “zap” words with a red cube. They will search and cover the “nap” words with orange cubes.
Ideas for use:
• Use as January literacy and math centers during rotations
• Add to small-group instruction for differentiated practice
