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!
How we did it:
Materials List
- pom-poms (20)
- die (1)
- construction paper
- markers
- scissors
-
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.
-
Whatever number you roll, place that same number of pom-poms on your starfish game piece.
-
The first person to complete his or her (star) board wins!
