Count the chocolates to 10

💡 How it plays and why it helps

Break a chocolate bar into squares, and children will count them faster than they eat them. Count the chocolates to 10 is a Kindergarten game made of that moment. Each picture shows chocolate squares stacked like a bar, and your child types how many there are. The ten pictures cover every number from 1 to 10, and five of them make a round. The instruction is read aloud, and every answer is checked and explained: one, two, three, four, five, so we write 5.

Counting is three skills at once: saying the numbers in order, matching one number to one square, and knowing the last number is the total. Squares that touch make the matching harder. No gap separates them. Typing the number then links the count to its written digit.

Touching squares invite a skipped square, or one counted twice. Slide a finger down the bar, one square per word. Ask, "Which square did we start on?" Praise the steady finger: "You went square by square to the end."
