This game helps with counting and improving number sense. And, more importantly, it involves candy.
Here's what you do:
- Print out the game board below.
- With your child's eyes closed, cover a number with an M&M or Skittle.
- Have your child guess the hidden number.
- If they guess correctly they get to eat the candy.
- Encourage them to figure out the number without counting from one.
- As they get the hang of it, try covering up three or four numbers at a time.
Mmmmm...Learning can be so delicious.

I just played this tonight with the kiddos and they all loved it! Because it was right before bed we used cereal squares instead of candy.
This is how I adapted it for their different age levels:
-for our 4-year-old I did it the way you described.
-for our 6-year-old I covered up 2-3 numbers and she had to add or subtract the numbers in her head to give me the answer.
-for our 1 year old I just put out some squares and she ate them.
It was a fun family time!!!
My daughter will LOVE this! Amazing how motivational some Skittles can be, isn't it?

Creative and Curious Kids!
this is a great idea!!! : )
we were driving on the freeway this morning and my five year old was looking for the letters in his name and then the alphabet. this number game came to mind and i was thinking it could probably be done with the alphabet, too... upper and lower case.
