Activities for Learning Math
1 Clown Cannonball
- Materials: Clown Cannonball cards, red Bingo chips
- Game mechanics: Experience the excitement of the human cannonball act as the clown is shot out of the cannon! To play, choose a Clown Cannonball card and put red Bingo chips on the circles at the card's bottom. Begin at the cannon and move towards the clown, marking each circle you pass with a chip. The total number of chips you use reveals the distance the clown has traveled. Enjoy the fun of measuring the clown's epic journey!
- About the game: The Clown Cannonball game enhances kids’ counting skills while measuring the clown's distance using non-standard units (Bingo chips). By placing chips on the card and counting them, children grasp fundamental concepts of measurement and numerical awareness, while also practicing their fine motor skills in a playful setting, nurturing their math abilities in an enjoyable way!
2 Circus Concessions Stand
- Materials: Concessions game mat, Concessions cards, "dollar" coins
- Game mechanics: Get ready to serve in the Concessions game! One player chooses a food order card, like asking for soda and peanuts. The other player looks at the menu on the game mat to know the prices (soda is $1, peanuts are $2). The first player places "dollar" coins on the mat for each item, like 1 coin for soda and 2 coins for peanuts. Then, they count the coins to see how much their order costs, practicing counting and money skills in a fun way!
- About the game: In the Circus Concessions Stand game, your little ones will develop pre-reading abilities by interpreting food orders from cards. Through the game mat's menu, they'll learn number identification as they associate prices with the items. Counting skills will also be practiced as they place "dollar" coins and add up costs for different orders. This engaging activity nurtures counting, adding, and number recognition skills while fostering an early understanding of monetary concepts. It’s great for dramatic play too!

Literacy Activities
1 World's Strongest Man Match
- Materials: World's Strongest Man Match cards
- Game mechanics: Engage in the strength show with the World's Strongest Man matching game and explore letter sounds! Split the cards into two groups: one with letters and another with pictures. Choose a letter card, like "B," and tell your child its sound, "/b/." Ask them to find a picture that begins with the same sound. For instance, does "monkey" start with the /b/ sound? No, but "balloons" does! Put together the matching cards to complete the picture, making learning about letter sounds exciting and interactive.
- About the game: This game helps develop vital skills such as letter recognition, understanding letter sounds, and identifying the beginning sounds of words. Through engaging in matching activities, children will strengthen their ability to associate letters with their sounds and to identify words that share the same initial sound. This playful exploration of letter-sound relationships will foster early reading readiness and phonemic awareness in an enjoyable and interactive way.
2 Tickets, Please!
- Materials: Tickets game mats, ticket cards, scissors
- Game mechanics: Prepare for the big show at the ticket booths! Discover syllables as you decide which booth to hand your ticket to. Cut slots on the Tickets game mats for ticket collection. Fold the flaps to stand up the 3 booths. Identify 1, 2, and 3 syllable booths. Pick a ticket card, like "magician." Break the word into syllables, clapping for each [(ma- (clap) -gi- (clap) -cian (clap)]. Your child repeats and raises fingers for each clap. Count the syllables based on fingers raised (3 for "magician"). Then, slip the card into the matching booth. Continue until you have sorted all the tickets!
- About the game: The Tickets, Please! The game offers an engaging way for kids to develop phonological awareness by learning to segment words into syllables through clapping. They will also make use of their counting and sorting abilities as they identify the number of syllables and place the ticket cards in the correct booths. This game activity assists in developing early reading readiness, and phonemic awareness, and encourages effective sorting and categorization skills.
3 Traveling Circus Board Game
- Materials: Traveling Circus game mat, circus erasers, two playing pieces, spinner arrow, spinner base
- Game mechanics: Get ready for circus fun! The traveling circus is packed up, and you can win by being the first to collect four erasers and reach the circus truck at the finish line. Begin by placing your piece at the ticket booth. Spin the spinner on your turn, and move your piece to the next spot with the spun letter. If you land on a circus station like the Souvenirs Shop or Performers' Tent, grab its eraser. Everyone gets an eraser at a circus station. The first to collect all four erasers and reach the circus truck wins! Enjoy this exciting game of collecting and moving to victory!
- About the game: The Traveling Circus Board Game offers a fun way for kids to learn letter identification and letter sound recognition as they spin the spinner and move their piece based on the letter landed on. It also involves taking turns, which fosters social skills and patience. Through playful gameplay, children improve their ability to associate letters with their sounds and practice cooperative interaction.
