Harry Potter and the Magic of Multiplication

Isn’t this printable Harry Potter multiplication game stunning? Inspired by a Minecraft multiplication game from Royal Baloo that is also pretty darn awesome, Erin at Nourishing My Scholar made this Harry Potter version because that’s what her son wanted.

This is a subscriber only download but totally worth it for Harry Pottern fans who need to practice their multiplication facts.

There are 12 different patterns on the board and the game cards, and to win the player needs to collect one of each by correctly answering the math problem on the other side.

This is such a clever idea and while I’m not saying it would be easy to customize, you could make different versions for whatever your kid is into. You could even do some of it by hand with cardstock or scrapbook paper that was already printed if you have some of that laying around.

I’ll definitely have to save this one until the girl has read Harry Potter.

Harry Potter Crafts and Activities

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
