E x t e n d i n g t h e G a m e Use a wipe-off pen to write a number from 1 10 on a set of ten sheep counters in each color. Then have children sequence the counters on their game boards. Make up simple word problems for children to solve. For instance, say, Two sheep were in the meadow. Three more sheep joined them. How many sheep are in the meadow now? Have children use the counters and game board to show how they get their answer.
