If a printer can print it, it’s on one of the sites by Savetz Publishing. I stumbled upon this mother lode of printable resources while seeking information about dominoes, to help me in making the Animals Picture Dominoes set. I was astounded by extensive collection of free downloads on their printable games site, but that’s only a tiny fraction of all their downloadables. Savetz maintains an incredibly long list of printables sites.
The first link on this page, which I’ll also add to the sidebar, is an index page to all their sites. All items are in PDF format. Just download, open in a PDF app such as Acrobat Reader® or Preview®, and print! Any single item is free, or you can purchase the entire collection on each site for a nominal price.
A Few Of The Printables Sites
Printable games? They have board games, card games, domino games, and pencil games; both rules and the game pieces and/or boards.
Coloring sheets? There are thousands of these, both entire scenes and full-page objects, organized by subject. There also are sets of dot-to dot pictures that might be colored once the outline is drawn.
Flash Cards? They had 324 sets when I looked, and are continually adding new sets. These cover many categories, including math problems, Braille, state flags, and science questions, to name a few. There’s also an online Flash Card Maker, to make your own custom flash card set. Just choose either four or six flash cards per page, enter your questions and answers, submit, and download.
Mazes? This one, appropriately, takes a bit of effort to locate. Click the first item on the index page, Free Printables, and scroll down about halfway to the Mazes link. There were 480 free mazes when I checked the site.
Printable Paper? Here you’ll find every imaginable type of graph paper, including grids for knitting and needlepoint. Especially handy if you only need one sheet! There also are lined papers of all types and colors, music paper, columnar paper, and lots more.
There is a separate printables site for teachers, with forms such as attendance charts, grade book paper, test templates, reference charts and posters, even bathroom passes! This link is also on the Free Printables sub-index page.
That’s just the beginning. There are sites for greeting cards, gift tags, recipe cards, cash receipts, chore lists, and over a dozen letter templates. There are calendars, grocery lists, family tree templates, stationery, play money, business cards, letters to Santa, and even Tooth Fairy letters. There is an entire site full of instant worksheets for all parts of the curriculum.
There also are reference printables, such as flags (360 of them, both in color and outline), the U. S. Constitution, maps, the Periodic Table, airport codes, and many, many, many more. I think they’ve added sites over many years, because the sites on the index page are pretty much in random order.
Terms Of Use
I had a difficult time locating their Terms Of Use. It’s a link in VERY fine print next to each download button, and the information that pops up seems to be the same for all items on all their sites. It clearly states that you can modify items, but there is a restriction on distributing and on posting these electronically.
Of course, many of the printable games are standard ones that aren’t original to Savetz Publishing. Probably it would be okay to use their printables in a multimedia program like Classroom Suite, Clicker, or HyperStudio in a classroom, but if in doubt, contact Savetz and ask. I’m putting a link to their contact form on this page, along with the link to their index page.
Besides a link to the main index page, here are links to SOME of the sites – the ones I think you’ll use the most. Take a few minutes to browse this amazing set of resource sites!
