Description

This cute and colourful game is sure to be a favourite with younger students. Best of all, there are three different game options, using the same game pieces!
Option 1: Is a simple colour sorting activity.
Option 2: Is also a sorting activity but adds the element of chance by rolling a dice.
Option 3: Adds a Mathematics component  to the game and is a number recognition and counting version of the game.

Print, cut and laminate the game boards and pieces. You may need to print multiple pages of the critters, to ensure you have enough game pieces.
