File Folder Games

Project Coordinator: Lori Swendsen, 17th Ward, 801-491-9515


Description: Educational games  that are universally understood and do not require English language skills for children in hospitals and orphanages. File folder games are intended to help
teach simple skills and should be fun and look professional. 
 Materials needed: 
• File folder
• Colored pencils, markers or colored paper/printing
• Envelope for loose pieces
• Small pieces of adhesive Velcro
• Lamination, clear vinyl or contact paper 
• Design template that meets guidelines below

Guidelines
• Games should be very basic and educational. Examples include matching colors and shapes, telling time, basic math skills, counting, etc.
• No words
• No religious symbols, flags or military themes
• Folders and pieces must all be laminated
• An envelope/permanent enclosure for loose pieces should be laminated to
the back of the folder
• Loose pieces must have Velcro to attach them to the design
