During our first year of homeschool last year, we found that the most effective supplement for us was our Morning Board. There were days we may not accomplish much else but knowing that we finished our morning board time meant we were still learning a lot.
This year, thanks to a 75% off sale at Mardel, we are going to be completing My Father’s World Kindergarten with Peanut (yes, can you believe I got the basic package for less than $40?!). We are very excited about this option and think it will be a great fit for her following the Encompass Preschool Curriculum. However, I still wanted to created some morning board cards to go along with the My Father’s World Curriculum so we maintain our home base. And, I also wanted to be begin teaching Peanut some sign language. As such, we designed our morning board for this year to be as follows for each week:
- 1-Biblical Concept Card
- 1-Memory Verse Card (with the complete verse, not a compact rendering)
- 1-Alphabet Symbol Card
- 1-Poetry Card (with optional poems to complete each week in addition to the few recommended by My Father’s World)
- 1-Skills Review Card (numbers, shapes, patterns, basic addition and subtraction problems, etc.)
- 9-Sign Language cards
Each card is replaced every 6-days (in conjunction with My Father’s World 6-day curriculum week). By the end of the year, she will learn 26 Bible Verses, 234 signs, over 100 basic addition and subtraction problems, and somewhere between 10 and 26 poems depending on her pace throughout the year. And the best thing of all is that they center around what Peanut will already be learning through My Father’s World each week.
I originally purchased my morning board or Collage Collection Hanging Display at Michael’s a little over a year ago for $8 and have loved how easy it is to switch the cards in and out each week. However, if this isn’t an option for you, you could always create O-ring packets or simply review the cards one-by-one from a stack each week and accomplish much the same effect.
All that to say, today you can download my morning board cards for My Father’s World for free! All morning board cards are formatted to be printed on 4×6 index cards.
To print cards:
- Open the morning board cards of your choice by clicking each image below.
- Select to print the document.
- In your print menu, select 4×6 as your paper size and horizontal or vertical printing depending on the card’s direction, if needed. Or, if available, select “choose paper source by PDF page size.”
- Place 4×6 index cards in your printer. Print and enjoy!
I hope these help you on your My Father’s World Kindergarten experience this year and that you enjoy using Morning Board Cards as much as we have. By the way, if you like these morning board cards you may also be interested in checking out my Encompass Preschool Curriculum which has another year’s worth of morning board cards included with it. Most of all, have fun learning about My Father’s World. I will look forward to comparing stories this year as we embark on the journey together!

I love mfw
I have a few of mfw items. I like how you’ve placed them on a board. I’m going to have to try this. It just may be the ticket to keeping my wiggle worms still a little longer. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome! It at least keeps this mom a little more focused that I know. 😉
Thank you for these! I appreciate the time and effort that went into making them and you are gracious to share them.
I am having trouble with a few of the links. The vertical ASL ones download as the Scripture verses. The Kindergarten Review cards and the Poetry cards only open as one item – the one shown in this article. Is that correct? Or are there supposed to be set of cards for each of those categories? The last 4 links all worked beautifully for me.
Thank you again for your time – These will be a help to us this year and next! 🙂
Thanks for your effort in putting these together! I’m excited to use them! I’m having trouble getting the review cards and poetry cards to open (just opens 1 image, instead of a downloadable file); could you e-mail those to me? Thanks!!!
Well that is no good! I think I have updated the links. So sorry about that! I had to try twice to get them to stick. I think my blog was not liking me today. 😉 Thanks for letting me know. You should be good to go now!
Andrea, my blog was having trouble inputting the links so I reassigned them. Can you try again? I’m sorry for the inconvenience. If you still have trouble, email me and we’ll get you taken care of. Thanks!
Kathy, this is amazing! Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing it with us. This will be a blessing for this year as we start MFW K.
Yeah! Let me know how it goes! We’ll have to compare stories. 😉
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am using MFW K with my youngest and this looks wonderful! I am excited to add the signs to his education. I will also include my 7 and 14 year olds in the signs part.
Yeah! I’m so glad you found them. Yes, let me know how it goes. Both my girls are enjoying them so far and at only a few a week, hopefully they will be able to retain most. 😉
SO glad I found this! We stard MFW kinder next week!
Yeah! It will be fun to compare stories! 😉
I so appreciate you taking the time to put all these together! I downloaded all of them and printed them, and they’re so well done. I feel certain this is going to be a lot easier to keep track of and stay focused on the week’s lessons.
