ROBOT THEMED TEMPLATES

***Please leave a comment and your email and I will email you this pdf for you to use for classroom or homeschool use.

These can be used for a variety of work, including:

Domino Math Game:

Child places a domino in the center of the robot and then, has to do the math adding the dots on the domino...

Stamping Activity: 

Child can stamp his or her name in the center space on the robot.

Letter / Sound Identification:

Make two sets of the robot templates. On one set, you can place a particular letter sound or phonogram and then, on the other you can have picutres of something that contains the letter sound or phonogram...

Upper Case / Lower Case Matching Activity:

Make several copies of the robots template and write the lower case letters on one set and the upper case letters on the other...Then, have your child match these.

Robot Command Cards:

Write an action word for your child to do on each robot, such as jump. spin, hop, wave, etc. 

This week, we have been in summer camp mode...robot camp!

Yesterday, our dear friends had us over to do a homeschool day all about robots...everyone, including moms, had a blast! Our friends really went out of their way to make the day a wonderful one...we are so looking forward to getting together with them every Wednesday for the school year, too. The boys made bristlebots from a neat kit. Then, they did all sorts of great hands on activities that Ms. T made for all of the boys...
It has been a fun and busy week, as in addition to robot summer camp, our homeschool co-op open houses and registrations have also been this week.

Here are Big Bro's thoughts about robot week:

Our favorite day was Wednesday, as we went over to do a whole special robot day with our friends. We made robots out of toothbrush tops, small motors, and wires. We designed our own robots and wrote about them. We did robot races through mazes...and did robot sumo wrestling! Plus, we had pizza and got to play! And they had a trampoline! and it rained and we played while it rained because it was not thundering and lightning like it usually does! It was awesome!

Here are Little Bro's thoughts about the week:

We played with the Nerf, we got to hear and watch about robots and have pizza. We made robots and was playing around with them. We got to draw robots and then, we also got to play. 
We got to jump and jump on "the trampolino" 
It was so fun...everything was great these days and with our friends.
