Whether you’re prepping a farm unit or just need motivating ways to teach STEM, math, science, reading and writing skills, this farm MEGA pack is a must-try.
These activities are yours when you become a VIP Plato Pack member. Just join, print, and play!
SO EASY TO DIFFERENTIATE
As always, the activities are designed for kindergarten and first graders so that you can easily stretch your strongest learners and break concepts down for kids who are struggling.
For instance, give students rhyming practice by having them solve rhyming puzzles…
Or STRETCH the activity by having students sound out those CVC words on a record sheet!
For students who need to work on letter sounds, pull out the 26 alphabet and 4 digraph puzzles…
Or if sight words are more their mode, type the words you want students to practice into any of the three EDITABLE games and have them follow up with writing practice.
Because the games are editable, you can practice any words under the sun: Dolch words, Fry lists, classmates’ names, themed fall words, alphabet letters… the possibilities are endless!
TAKE BACK YOUR WEEKENDS
One of the things I love most about The Plato Pack is that it always gives you a HUGE variety of activities so you can save time hunting down ideas.
Since this month is all about the farm, even the 2D shape games have a farm theme!
Work on STEM, engineering, design and problem skills with a batch of print and build LEGO challenges…
Replicate farm-themed geoboard designs and then challenge students to create some of their own!
Stretch students’ vocabulary by learning the names of baby animals.
There’s even a playful measurement activity that has kids comparing the lengths of baby carrots and common school supplies!
The mega bundle includes math games, literacy centers, science experiments, STEM challenges…
EVERYTHING you need for a month of motivating farm lessons!

I wanted to purchase the lifetime membership, as I took your Reading Roadmap course this summer and loved it. My only concern is that I teach Grades 1 and 2 and am wondering if there would be enough activities to challenge my Grade 2s…
Hi Stacy!
Thanks for reaching out! I definitely understand your concern. The Plato Pack is primarily designed for Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers, so the question of whether it will actually challenge your second graders depends on where they are. If the majority of them are close to grade level or above, there likely won’t be a ton of material that will challenge them; however, there will be materials that will work well for review and/or introducing concepts. Since you’re teaching a combo class, even if you just use it for your first graders, it may still be a very good fit. It’s hard to give you an exact answer without knowing your students, but I hope this helps!
Warmly,
Ashley // Happiness Ambassador
