About the activity
A kite is waiting in an autumn meadow and its tail needs decorating. On the start screen you choose counting from 1 to 5 or from 1 to 10. The task card shows the children how many of which shapes to hang on the tail, for example 6 red rectangles and 9 blue squares. They drag the shapes from a tray of squares, rectangles, circles and triangles in four colours. Dots on the card show how many shapes have been added, and a finished row gets a tick.
If a child picks a shape that is not in the task, it goes back to the tray. Tapping a shape on the tail takes it off again. When the task is complete, the kite takes off and swirls in the wind among falling leaves. The Play again button sets a new task, different every time.
The game needs no reading: the task is made of numbers, shapes and colours. Kite is free.
What children develop
- counting to 10 and matching quantities to numbers
- telling shapes apart: square, rectangle, circle and triangle
- telling colours apart and sorting by two features at once
- fine motor skills when dragging shapes across the board
How to use it in class
- Before the game, name the shapes and colours in the tray with the children.
- Let the children take turns: each child hangs one shape while the others count out loud.
- After the game, make a paper kite and decorate its tail with the same shapes.
