Object of the Game:

Be the first player to fill your cookie jar card with matching cookies.

 

 

Level 1:

Setup:

• Place all the red, yellow, blue, and green cookies number-side up over the spots on the game board. (The white cookies are extras.)
• Place a cookie jar card (with the side showing 5 cookies face up) in front of each player.
• Before playing, review numbers 1–10 with the players.

How to Play:

• The youngest player goes first.
• On your turn, spin the spinner.
• If you spin 1, 2, or 3 cookies, take that quantity of cookies from the game board and place them on top of the matching cookies on your cookie jar card.
• If you pick a cookie you don’t need, put it back on the board.
• If you spin “Cookie Crumbles” ( ), put one of your cookies back on the game board.
• The first player to fill a cookie jar card wins.
For a greater challenge, use the 1–10 side of the cookie jar.

 

 

Level 2:

Before playing, remind each player that it is a good idea to point to each candy when counting it.

Setup:

• Place all the red, yellow, blue, and green cookies number-side down over the spots on the game board.
• Place a cookie jar card (with the side showing 10 cookies face up) in front of each player.

How to Play:

Follow the same rules as Level 1, except:
• Count the number of candies on each cookie when taking cookies from the board. Remember to point to each candy.
• Place the cookie over the corresponding number on your cookie jar card. Then, turn the cookie over to see if the numbers match. If the numbers don’t match, put the cookie back on the board. For a longer game, put back all your cookies when you spin “Cookie
Crumbles.” For more counting practice, at the end of the game, all players may pick
the rest of the cookies needed to complete their cookie jar cards. Players
should read the number before choosing a cookie.
