Simple to Prep

This fish-themed blend words activity makes planning and prepping your lesson plans a breeze. Print the find and color sheets and the picture cards. Then, cut out the picture cards and laminate them if you like.

I have also included a color version of the find and color sheets that you can use as a mat. Just slide them into a write-and-wipe pocket or laminate them for durability. Then, students can use manipulatives to cover the words or dry-erase markers to color or mark off each word as they find them.
