SEVEN TO WIN GAME

YOU WILL NEED:
a pack of cards with the face cards removed and a pile of counters (dried beeans, buttons, squares cut from paper will do)

• place the counters within easy reach

Dear Parents or Carer, This activity will help your child to practise adding up by counting up two sets of things (such as hearts, or spades, etc) A lot of counting will be required and it is important to make sure that chidlren point to the card as they say the number so that they count correctly.
