Bunny Math Game

 If you are a long time reader of my blog, you know I can't resist regular trips to Dollar Tree, Target and WalMart. My sweet cousin, a fellow kindergarten teacher in Mississippi found the bunny trays at WalMart ($.97 each). I bought 5 and found some mini Easter erasers ($1.00) at Target. We are going to play the game with dice. Two erasers will be placed in each indention. To play the game, the students can only remove erasers from the indentions if they roll a 2, 4 or 6.

Target Finds and a Math Game Freebie

Why do they put the Target Dollar Spot where they do? Because they know a kindergarten teacher has no willpower whatsoever! I prove their theory right each time I walk through their door. This season they have ghost and bat table scatters, along with pumpkins, acorns and leaves (in 2 colors!!) They also have pumpkin, black cat, and ghost erasers in 2 sizes. Did I have to buy them all? Of course! We have been working on the Common Core Math Standard:
K.CC.6  
 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. 

I made two levels for my students and I'll include both gameboards. You don't have to have erasers either, orange and white unifix cubes work just as well!

10 Gameboard

25 Gameboard

Tally sheet

Have a supply of 2 types of  unifix cubes or erasers for students and dice. They will take turns rolling and placing their erasers on the gameboard. When the gameboard is filled, students will each count their erasers and determine which set is greater/less. I also am including a tally sheet, because they will be encouraged to play several games.
