So you have your center management system in place. It’s September & you’re ready to change centers but what activities do you put in your tubs/bins/centers? This post shows you the activities we use in September. We are still learning how to do centers and learning academic skills and learning how to use the various types of center activities that we use in all of our TKS centers activities! And because our TKS centers are designed to be teacher and kid-friendly, now that we’ve worked with the various types of activities for two weeks, the kids will be able to grab an activity and do it with no instruction needed. That’s the beauty of our center resources!
For more information on how I introduce centers, manage centers, and more, see the links at the end of this post.
What Types Of Activities And Games Do You Use In Centers?
- matching (letters, numbers, counting)
- puzzles (letters, numbers, counting)
- spinners (letters, numbers)
Now that we have our baseline data (THANKS TO ESGI! A CLASSROOM MUST HAVE!) we can start to differentiate our center activities. And we still maintain that simplicity! That’s the beauty of TKS centers: they’re low prep and are flexible so you can make the activities work in multiple ways so 1 activity can be two or three or four different activities!
The pictures below are the actual activities included in the tubs. The picture is followed by the link to the creation/product that contains that particular activity/activities (and more).
All of these resources are linked to our TKS Store but they are also available on TeachersPayTeachers. To find them on TPT, simply search by the name exactly as listed on the title pages seen below.

We also have some Melissa and Dough puzzles that we include in our tubs!
