ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

A card game you could play with your child at home similar to the game ‘Go Fish’. 

Instead, you and your child's aim is to get rid of your doubles cards. To gain the point you must be able to explain what the double card is equal to. For example, “I’ve got double 2-so I have 4”. Or “I’ve got double 6-so I have 12”. 

The aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards.
