Are you tired of boring worksheets! Looking for something new? Here are 16 Primary task boxes that are all related to some life skills that are needed, that can be used in small groups, independent centers, one on one instruction, and take-home boxes for homework for that extra needed practice!! These tasks boxes, or task cards, help promote independent learning skills for early learners, gifted students, ELL students, and Special needs or SPED teachers. These are targeted toward first, second, or third-grade reading level although, for my high school students, I still use them because some of my kiddos are lower cognitive.

This resource can be used all school year. I have created these specifically with special needs students in mind, to provide proprioceptive feedback while learning new skills. These task boxes are fun and engaging and keep kids wanting to learn and practice skills over and over again. Each task is made to fit perfectly in a small photo box or a crayon storage box. There are enough in this resource to fill one 16 container photo boxes. I purchased mine at Michaels.
