I am so excited to share my latest board game!
To play this fun game all you need are a few handfuls of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers (red, orange, yellow and green) and a copy of the printable materials below!
To grab a copy click the image below or click HERE!
Graphics by Scrapping Doodles
Directions
1. Shuffle cards and place them in a pile upside down.
2. Each player takes a game board and places 20 Goldfish crackers (various colors) in the water on their board.
3. Players take turns choosing a card and removing the correct number/color of fish from the water and placing them in the correct fishing bucket.
4. The first player to catch all their fish wins!
Variations
Start with all your fish in the buckets and play the game in reverse. The first player to throw all their fish back into the water wins!
Meeting the Needs of All Learners
I included two different boards in this game. One board has just color words on the buckets (great for kids learning to read) and another board includes colors and color words on the buckets (for preschoolers practicing color identification).
Skills Practiced
Counting numbers 1-20
Identifying colors
Sorting by color
Reading color words
Addition/subtraction readiness
Comparing quantities
