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.
