Cay,
Here is one that is cute, cute, cute!
If you Give a Mouse a Cookie- Games
This site actually has ALL KINDS of cute games related to this book (and others). I printed up the ABC upper case cards and glued them into a File folder and then made the lower case cookie cards into the game pieces to match. It turned out so cute! And then I took the extra mouse and cookie cards (there are 10 extra) and made a math match game with them.
I love this as the "If you give a..." books are some of our favorites!
ps be sure you click on all the different links to find all the cookie activities. The site is a little odd to navigate but there are some real gems there.

Here you go, at Preschool Printables, their Bright and Sunny Letters game. You'll have to scroll down to find the one with both sets of letters.
FWIW - My dd was 3 or 3.5 when I made the flower one from this site. She loved it! You match the number to the number of dots on a petal. So girlie!

We love the "If You Give a..." books too. 
Thanks for this site. I love the lowercase cookie cut-outs.
Cici, I saw the ones at PreSchool Printouts but, even though she knows her ABC's and this is review, I thought the outlines of the sun might confuse her. They seem to distracting and might take away from the letter itself. Just my first-sight opinion.

| Cay... I can't help you with the alphabet ff, but which one did you made for Annie? I want to make some too, but the books are rather expensive. |

Louise,
I'm a major tight-wad these days. 
I looked at the ones posted under this thread (for FREE )and printed:
Numbers:
Flowers in Bloom
Watermelon Numbers
Colors:
Perfect Pies (Annie knows her colors but I thought this file folder would help familiarize her with the color spellings since we'll be working on reading this year)
I also printed Pumpkin Patch for fun in October and will also print the Pizza Number Party to enchange with the watermelon one.
At the Busy Teacher Cafe shared by Kristen I printed the Apple contractions and Cookie Jar Math Fact Families for Chelsea's review...just for fun.
I'm still looking at the different ones free online and making my selections. I'd like the girls to have different ones to choose from. It's a fun way for review.
I did it all late last night. Printed, cut, pasted inside a file folder. I copied the directions and logo and glued the pocket title on the front of the file folder, leaving the top unglued. I placed the separate tiles in a sandwich ziplock bag, labeled it, and placed this inside the "pocket".
I'm blogging and hope to share photos of the girls enjoying their files.  Believe me, these little file folder games were very do-able for me at this point and were a much needed motivation to begin the school year...for me more so than the girls.

I think I might have found what I needed here. Thanks so much, Kim. 
Many of these will be perfect in Annie's Kindergarten easel presentation binder. ..which requires no cutting, no formatting, no gluing. Just stick in a page protector and you're ready for presenting and reviewing.

To tell the truth, I agree! I thought I'd just give you a "free" option, since you asked.

Kristin is definitely the woman when it comes to tracking down printables online! We maybe need to give her her own thread here just to collect the links! Thank you Kristin!
Cay, could you elaborate more on how you use the presentation binder and what is included? Maybe we can open that in a new thread?
Kim

Well, I don't know how to link up to another thread, but I actually had a thread on FF games in the Real Learning Section last year.
The problem with most of the groups now is of course the copyright issues. You get so many things that are out of books and know one knows if they were put out there as a freebie and one time or another. For example, the Evan Moor site always has something to download for free. There are a ton of Carson games posted all over the net- who knows if they were ever released as a freebie or not. (This is obviously being discussed in another thread currently!)
There are a few good sites with "free" downloads like those shared in this thread already.
Here is a great
Game Board Site
I use to make my own games frequently.
When I do this I often times pickup precut shapes to use as the individual pieces.

Today at Dollar Tree I found some learning game cards for preschoolers. One is Barbie number match and the other is Winnie the Pooh colors and shapes.
They are a little big...but, don't you think they would work for a file folder game?
The color and shapes one I would have to make my own shapes to match to the cards but the Barbie set has matching cards. And..they are very cute!!

This is not a file folder, but marcie mentioning the cards just reminded me that I just bought some cards at Eckerds that are so cute. They are called three-letter word puzzle cards. You match 3 cards together to make a picture and spell the word. Example: three cards matched together to make a picture of a bee and each card has one of the letters on it. Very cute and self-correcting because of the picture. For 2 bucks and no cut-and-paste you can't beat it.
