When you’re teaching our youngest learners, you know exactly how fast a good activity gets used…and how quickly you have to pivot when it falls flat. That’s why having engaging, predictable Google Slides activities on hand can feel like oxygen. This set covers the essentials—math, phonics, early literacy—and gives students the chance to practice foundational skills through bright visuals, simple routines, and interactive drag-and-drop fun.
Teachers and homeschool parents love these because they run smoothly in small groups, whole-group lessons, or independent work. Kids stay focused because every slide asks them to do something—move, sort, match, or decide. And since the topics hit the core skills your PreK–2nd graders revisit all year, you can use these again and again without reinventing a thing.
What’s Inside This Google Slide Set?
Each topic includes 25–30 slides, giving you plenty of material for modeling, guided practice, centers, and intervention. The activities are intentionally simple so students build confidence, not confusion.
Complete the Pattern
Kids finish AB, ABC, and AAB patterns using familiar seasonal or concrete images. This builds visual discrimination—a quiet powerhouse skill for math success and early reading.
Counting to Ten
Students count real objects or themed icons and drag the matching number into place. Ideal for early numeracy and number-sense warm-ups.
Shape Sorting
Sort circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, and more. These slides support geometry vocabulary and help students compare attributes, a key K–1 math standard.
Ten Frame Counting
Students count dots in a ten frame and match the correct number. This strengthens subitizing, number fluency, and early addition readiness.
Count the Dots (Subitizing)
Quick visual flashes help students “see” quantities without counting one-by-one. A teacher favorite for number talks and math warm-ups.
Fill in the Alphabet
Students drag missing letters into the alphabet sequence. It’s a simple routine that reinforces letter order, recognition, and fluency.
Letter or Word Sort
Students sort by letter, by word type, or by the initial sound. A clean way to build phonemic awareness and vocabulary.
Letter Matching
Match uppercase to lowercase letters with colorful, clear visuals. Use this during centers or early finisher time to build fluency.
Letter Sort
Students sort letters into categories (straight lines, curves, vowels, consonants). These categories strengthen handwriting awareness and letter identity.
Beginning Sounds CVC Words
Students look at the picture, identify the beginning sound, and drag the matching letter. This strengthens early decoding, phonemic awareness, and confidence with simple CVC words.
Why Teachers and Parents Love These Google Slides
These activities are the kind that actually work in the classroom. The directions are predictable. Students know what to do after the first few slides. And because the skills spiral through the year, you can plug them into your lessons anytime you need quick, reliable practice.
It’s hard enough to meet the needs of your learners, especially when attention spans are short and prep time is even shorter. These slides help you bridge that gap without printing, laminating, or hunting for materials.

If you’ve ever found yourself scrambling for one more center, or downloading “just one more” worksheet at midnight, you already know the pain points:
- Too much time spent searching for activities
- Not enough resources that fit the season, the theme, and the skill
- Centers that take forever to prep
- Kids who need differentiated practice right now—not next week
- The mental load of planning every single day
The 123 iTeach Club was built to take those pain points off your plate.
Each month, members get 5 Math and 5 ELA themed sets—Google Slides, worksheets, centers, and coloring pages that work together. You log in, choose the set, and you’re ready for whole-group, small-group, homework, or independent practice…without creating a thing.
Instead of hunting, guessing, and piecing things together, you get the joy of having an entire month of themed resources done for you. Everything aligns, everything is adorable, and everything is ready when you are.
Teaching feels lighter when your resources support you, not the other way around.
Why Use Google Slides:
These Google Slides activities help your students grow with clear visuals, hands-on practice, and routines that build confidence. Whether you’re teaching in a classroom or at the kitchen table, you’ll appreciate how quickly you can use them and how well your students respond.
And if you’re tired of finding activities one at a time, the 123 iTeach Club gives you a ready-made path forward—10 themed sets every month so you always have exactly what you need.
