Purpose:
You can help your child to practice ordering the numbers 0-10.
What you need:
Pack of cards. Ace = 1, remove the other picture cards.
What to do:
Shuffle the cards and deal 5 cards to each player.
Place the other cards in a pile face down and turn the top card over beside the pile.
The aim of the game is to put all your cards in a sequence (or a run). The first player can take the face up card or the one from the top of the pile and then put one of their cards on the face up pile. The next player has a turn. The winner is the first player to order their 5 cards.
What to expect your child to do:
To correctly order the numbers 0-10.
Variation:
- Use the cards as flash cards. Hold up a card and ask your child what is the number before it and after it.
- Cut up an old calendar and use the numbers 1-20.
