I created this game to provide a positive activity during class transition times for a 3.5 yo student who had challenging behavior. This student really enjoyed playing the game.
1. Supplies? dabber,die & printout.(when we played, I forgot the dabber and he used a pen to mark off the dinosaur. You can use a crayon, pencil, chalk, for less cleanup.)
Game relies on action by the players, not the game master. So adult can be cleaning in same room, for example, and “talk” child through the directions. Older children can easily help younger children.
2. Simple format, children can match even if they can’t count.
3. Children who can count will work on their skills to recognize amount # without counting dots.
Besides math skills, it involves using the brain to run the critical thinking motor, deciding same and different.
Below is an example of the game directions, each pack includes themed game page, directions page.
Each pack is set up to download individually by desired theme, to save time and paper, for those who don’t need all FOUR PACKS. I use lots of free printables and spend so much time scrolling through a pack, to print the pages I want, so I believe this is the most user friendly setup.
p.s. legal disclaimer, children playing game need adult supervision -game is not responsible for children.
