SMART Board Version-Locating Items On A Grid-Activities for K-3

Click on the picture to download this SMART Board Activity!

*Please leave feedback for downloading this cute little FREEBIE!

This download is a fun way to get kids to practice locating items on a grid. This activity goes along with a SMART Board lesson, so you MUST have that software! Just like the PDF version in my TPT store, students can NOW move the birds and other cute pictures into different locations on a variety of grids. Then, the class has to tell where the items are located on the grid. You can print the PDF version and use it alongside this SMART Board activity and/or just print up the blank pages to use workstation if you wanted. I ended up printing them as posters and putting them in workstations :)
As always, I hope this is helpful to you and your students enjoy practicing the skills of finding locations on a grid!
