March Task Boxes

But today I’m sharing with you all what’s in my March task boxes.

There is a mixture of Spring and St Patrick’s Day activities included in my March task boxes. They include;

Spring Rhyming Raindrops

These rhyming puzzles in the shape of raindrops are perfect to use as part of your spring theme. Students need to match together the two halves to find the rhyming words and form the raindrop. Check it out here.

Same or Different?

These task cards are great for students to work on their attention to detail skills. As well as being able to identify images that are the same or different. Check them out here.

Spring Matching Halves

This task box is a great beginner level. Students need to identify the two matching pieces and put them together to form a spring themed image. This is a great opportunity to work on vocabulary too! Check them out here.

Spring Counting Task Cards

These counting task cards come in a fun spring theme. And they are perfect for working on counting and number recognition with my students. And you’ve probably guessed – I love to use clothing pegs with these task cards. Students need to place the clothing peg onto their answer out of 3 options, thus working on their fine motor skills too. Check them out here.

Spring Wh- Question Task Cards

I’m always trying to mix up ways that I can work on wh- questions with my students. And these Spring themed task cards are perfect to use! Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day 2D Shape Matching

This task box is perfect for getting students to work on identifying 2D shapes when they look different to the ‘normal’ shapes they work with everyday. It comes with 2D shape gold coins, and 2D shape shamrocks for students to work with. Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day Color Matching Task Box

This fun leprechaun task box activity is perfect for students to work on their color recognition, vocabulary and fine motor skills. Check it out here.

St Patrick’s Day Fine Motor Skill Task Cards

These task cards are perfect for working on fine motor and pre-handwriting skills with students. I love to pair them with a green dry-wipe pen just to add to the St. Patrick’s theme fun! Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day Initial Sound Task Cards

I’m always looking for ways to continue to work on my students vocabulary. But at the same time, I like to pair it with other skills too. These St Patrick’s themed initial sound task cards are the perfect mix for our March task boxes! Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day Letter Formation Task Box

This task box is perfect for working on my students letter formation skills. Again, I love using a green dry-wipe pen just to add to the St Patrick’s theme. Students need to follow the instructions on each letter to ensure they are forming them correctly. Check them out here.

Matching Upper and Lowercase Letters

Another skill that many of my students need to work on is being able to identify and match upper and lowercase letters. These fun, St Patrick’s themed yeti task cards are perfect to use for working on this skill. Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day Find the Missing Word

St Patrick's Day Making Sentences Task Boxes

This task box is perfect for getting students to work on their reading, vocabulary and sentence skills. Students need to look at the image, read the sentence and work out what the missing word is. Then, choose their choice out of 3 options on the side of the task card. Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day More or Less?

As part of our math, we have been working on our more or less skills. And these St Patrick’s theme task cards are perfect to include in my March task boxes for my students. Students use the math symbols to place into the empty box on each task card to complete the activity. Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day Counting Task Cards

My students love these themed counting task cards. They have to count each task card and then choose their answer out of 3 options on the side of the task card. Perfect for working on counting, number recognition, language and fine motor skills. Check them out here.

What’s the Missing Number?

St Patrick's Day Missing Number Task Cards

These missing number task cards are perfect to use with your students for identifying and working on their number skills. Students will work through the task cards that have them working on what comes first / next / before and after.

All in a fun St Patrick’s theme! Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day Ten Frame Task Cards

I don’t know about you, but I love mini erasers – and so do my kids! So I love to mix up these task boxes and switch between using bingo dabbers and mini erasers. Students use them to fill in the ten frames to match the number on the task card. Plus, these are perfect for working on number formation and recognition at the same time! Check them out here.

PomPom Leprechauns

Anything that can get my students engaged and working on their fine motor skills at the same time is always a win for me. Fine motor skills are one of the biggest struggles that many of my students have. So I’m always trying to find new, fun ways to work on them.

And this pompom matching St Patrick’s themed box is another winner with my students! Students have to find the matching pompoms and place them into the empty circles on the individual task cards. If I want to make it harder, I’ll have students use jumbo tweezers to pick up and place the pompoms. Check them out here.

St Patrick’s Day Wh Question Task Cards

Again, these task cards are a great opportunity to work on wh- question and answer skills with students. Each task card comes with 4 possible answer choices for students to choose from. Check them out here.

Counting Task Cards with PomPoms

And this is one of my favorite go-tos in my March task boxes. Students love using the pompoms and placing them onto the sheep. This fits perfectly for spring – but also for St. David’s Day if you celebrate this too. Again, to make it more difficult, I have students pick up pompoms using jumbo tweezers. Check them out here.

Those are the task boxes that I have set up in my March task box set for my students to use. Click here to check them out.
