Alien Antics
This maths game is designed for kindergarten or prep students. The game focuses on early number recognition from 1-10, with two levels of play.
Level 1 involves finding matching numerals from 1-9. It requires one 10-sided die.
Level 2 involves subitising - matching the numeral to a dot representation of that number. We have included the page for the spinner but you will need to attach a plastic spinner to the centre. Make your own or we have them available for purchase - http://www.teachthis.com.au/products/view-product/link/Game-Spinner-10cm/id/141/
