Set out the tray, blocks, and cards. There are 10 ways to play, each with various complexity. First, familiarize the child with the number blocks, then play a pre-game called “What’s the number?”. Roll one of the number blocks and have your child tell you what number it is. After a while, roll 2 blocks and position them together and have the child tell you the number. Then reverse those two numbers. The color squares on each card corresponds to which game you use it with. Games 1 to 4 all use the purple cards. In game 1, arrange the purple cards so they are all facing the same way and numbered from lowest to highest. Put them in the tray with the cover open so the answer is revealed. Face it towards the child and point to the picture and ask them “What is this?”. Point to the number below and say it, then count the objects on the card out loud, one by one. Have your child find the correct blocks with the numbers and place it into the slot below the answer on the card. Reinforce what the child has done by repeating the number and counting together. Then remove the top card and give it to them. Repeat with the next card. In game 2, play the same way, but this time use the cover to hide the answer. The child is allowed to look at the answer at the beginning one time, but then must get the correct block from memory or by counting the images. In game 3, play the same as game 2, but use as a timer and set it for 2 minutes. The child has until the timer runs out to complete all the cards. You can adjust the amount of time if needed. In game four, lay out all the purple cards faceup on the table in ascending sequence, then have the child look away. You secretly remove a few of the cards then the child turns back and must tell you which ones are missing. You can also play where you mix up the purple cards and the child must sort them back into correct order on the table. Game 5 uses the cards with the gray question mark squares. Have the child look at the different things in the pictures and count up each specific thing, putting the correct number block in the tray. Go through each different item then they can try counting up all the things together. Game 6 uses the cards with the orange squares. Arrange the cards sequentially from lowest to highest and cover the answer. The child counts the images while seeing the numbers and gaining exposure to addition; placing their block in the tray and removing the cover to see if they are correct. Game 7 uses the cards with the yellow squares. Arrange the cards sequentially from lowest to highest and cover the answer. This game is like the previous but introduces a little multiplication, which you can point out after they have discovered the answer for themself. Game 8 uses the cards with the blue squares. Stack the cards in any order and use the cover. The child now needs to figure out the answer to each addition problem, and put a block into each tray spot. For an added challenge, use a timer. When done with a card, show the child the pattern in the answers. Game 9 uses the cards with the green squares and is the same as the previous game but the child has to figure out how many each illustration adds up to. Game 10 uses the cards with the pink squares. Stack the cards in any order and use the cover. Ask the child how many they see for each item which they put the answer block in the tray. Some answers may be zero, giving the child the opportunity to learn what zero means. All these games can be played with multiple players. Children take turns completing a card. When they are correct, they collect the card. When incorrect, then the card goes to the bottom of the pile, and the next player goes. When the stack is empty, the child with the most cards wins.
