L is working on his addition skills, number formation, and counting.We started off this activity by using a game board L made with his Grandma (thanks Grandma!). The game board is made from a file folder, stickers, and window decals. Pick a starting point and ending point, and then make a trail of stickers from one to the other. Laminate for durability.
We also used a set of dominoes to play this game. I store mine in a translucent wipes container that I am no longer using.
To play the game:1) Turn over all the dominoes.
2) L picks a domino and turns it over.
3) L adds the dots together and moves his marker (he has some Cars character erasers to use as his markers, but they have been played with elsewhere...so he is using a carrot eraser).
Add To It:
1) L turns over the domino.
2) L writes the # from each side of the domino in the boxes I drew on his paper.
3) L adds the #'s together and writes the answer in the last box.
4) L moves his marker.
This activity reinforces counting, number formation, one-to-one correspondence, and addition.
What a clever game! You should now do a book of children's games and publish for the Kindle, Amber!
