Description

Matching and pairing, helps with number recognition, concentration and memory.

Step-by-step instructions for other teachers

Collect 20 bottle caps and divide them into 2 sets of 10 bottle caps. Write the numbers 0-9 inside each set. Make sure to write the numbers 6 and 9 in different styles.

Flip the bottle caps upside down so the numbers cannot be seen and mix up the two sets. Line them up in a grid, which is four caps wide by five caps high.

Have the child pick two caps. If the numbers on each cap match, the child keeps both caps. If not, the child places both caps back in the grid with numbers down.

Repeat until the child has paired all of the caps.

If the game is being played with two or more players, take turns picking two caps. If the child gets a match, they keep the caps. If the child does not get a match, they put the caps back and the next child takes a turn. The winner is the player with the most pairs of caps at the end.
