What to do
Shuffle the cards and deal five cards to each player. Place the other cards in a pile face down, and turn the top card over beside the pile.
Players take turns to put a card to the left or right of the turned-over card to start a counting sequence. For example, if the turned-over card is a 6, then the first player may place a 5 to the left of the 6 or a 7 to the right of it. If the first player places a 5, the next player can now place a 4 or 7 to continue the sequence or place a 5 on top of the 5 the previous player played. Players who cannot make a move miss a turn. The winner is the person with the fewest cards left when the sequence can go no further.
What to expect your child to do
- Correctly order the numbers 0- 10.
Variation
Use the cards as flash cards. Hold up a card and ask your child what the number is before and after it.
