About this game
Count to 10 and write the numbers: a free Kindergarten math game for ages 5-6. Each round draws 5 questions; instructions are read aloud and every answer is checked and explained.
Past six, counting gets longer than a child's patience. Count to 10 and write the numbers is the Kindergarten game for that stretch. Six pictures of bats hold five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten bats, and five of them make a round. The instruction is read aloud, your child counts, then types the total. Every answer is checked, and the explanation counts every bat again before naming the number to write.
Beyond six, the words seven, eight, nine and ten are newer, and the groups no longer fit in one glance. Your child has to keep words and touches together for longer. The card with ten adds a step. Ten needs two digits.
A missing word is the slip to catch. Some children say seven, nine, ten, and the total comes out one too high. The hint already asks for one touch per number. If the answer looks big, say, "Count again, and I will listen for eight." Then praise the stamina: "You kept going all the way to the end."
