Starfish Counting Game

Starfish Counting Game

What do starfish and pom-poms have in common? The two can be combined to create a fun, beach-themed math game.

I cut out two starfish drawings and added ten circles to each to create a fun counting game. Starfish have circular bumps on their arms--which, as it turns out, are a perfect place to put pom-poms!

Ages:
3 - 10
Est. Time:
<30 mins

How we did it:

Materials List

  1. pom-poms (20)
  2. die (1)
  3. construction paper
  4. markers
  5. scissors
  1. Starfish Counting Game Pin It

    Create a game board by drawing starfish (with suckers!) and cutting out the shapes.

    After getting your supplies together, decide who'll be first to roll the die.

  2. Starfish Counting Game Pin It

    Whatever number you roll, place that same number of pom-poms on your starfish game piece.

  3. Starfish Counting Game Pin It

    The first person to complete his or her (star) board wins!
