Unicorn game - cloud counting
with playdough
This counting game activity is ideal for children aged 2 to 6
who are experiencing their first, or continuing an adventure with numbers
1 to 20. The aim of the game is to fill the gap between the two rainbow
platforms with a pre-determined quantity of playdough clouds that enable
the unicorn to bound and leap across the 'fluffy' pathway to reach the other
side where a barrel of yummy apples awaits. Eat them and share them out between
the other unicorn players.
Each player will need:
- a unicorn counter
- set of apples (equal number as participants so that there is one
each)
- a barrel
- dice
- set of cloud number cards
- white playdough

platorm 2

number cards
1. Print all the pieces needed, cut out, laminate and trim again.
Sticky tape the two rainbow platform bases together at the centre
line.
2. Decide together how many clouds are going to be needed for
the unicorns to reach from one rainbow platform to the other.
3. Then take turns rolling the dice and modelling that quantity of white
playdough clouds, positioning them within the middle space. Children's unicorns
can leap cloud to cloud as soon as they are made or wait until all the clouds
are finished and the crossing can happen in one journey.
4. Once a Unicorn has reached its barrel of apples they can be eaten and
shared!
If wanted, use the numbered
cloud cards to keep track of the amount being made. Line individual
cards up in sequence or cross them off of the sheet with a marker. Plastic
unicorn figures can also be used in place of the card ones and 20mm green
beads as the apples.
