Hanukkah Game Board Freebie

Hanukkah begins December 8th at sundown! Looking for a little something to help your kids celebrate Hanukkah?  This game can be used in many ways in the classroom!  Brain research tells us that frequent repetition helps bring information from the short term memory to the long term memory.  (Rather than "Practice Makes Perfect", I prefer "Practice Makes Permanent"!)   

I use board games like this to practice sight words, math facts, sentence fluency, or any skill that needs practicing!  The children just roll one die, but before they can move their place marker that many spaces, they have to perform a task.  I sometimes have a selection of cards the children can choose from, and sometimes I have a specific skill for them to practice.
