Math

 

I have made a game using plastic eggs where the children subitize the number of dots on one part of the egg and find the matching number to go with the dots.

 

Another Math game is the Easter Bump. I created this game where there are some Easter items with numbers on them. The children roll a die and cover up that number with their maker. If another child rolls that number they can bump off the first child's counter. The winner is the one who has the most counters on the board.

 

 

A little tip about using dice at home. When playing a game with your child that requires dice, it is inevitable the dice will fall to the floor. At Dollar Tree, in the kitchen area, the wall closet to the cashiers, they sell 10 little clear containers with lids. Place the dice in the container and the children can still see the dots or numbers on the die or dice. It is the dollar tree over at 4th Avenue.
