I make math games using those new Ziploc boxes. I have made two dice addition, three
Garage sales are a great place to pick up cheap games, puzzles and card games (you just have to make sure all the pieces are still together). You could also include chalk in your survival kit...many classrooms have individual sized chalk boards that students can use. I use mine as a math centre, the kids pair up and make equations for each other to solve. But during indoor recess, they can use them to draw if they prefer. And what about some coloring sheets, crosswords, word searchs etc...you can easily download some and photocopy them...make a little note for those receiving your kits that when they use them, they can download "fun" sheets that relate to their classroom theme. I also have an art caddy, full of scrap paper, yarn and other odds and sodds that the kids can create with...you could put together a mini art caddy in a large ziplock for each of your kits...more to give the idea than actually be an art caddy per se. Just raid any elementary school's recycling bin! (I also have tracers in my caddy and the kids love them and they are good fine motor practice...I cut out a lot of die cuts when I was in university from the educ centre but now any scrapbooking store has die cuts. Usually if you buy their paper, you can use the machines for free.) Good luck with your project...Ally
