Suggested Activities:
Sorting and Matching
Place the sorting discs in the bottom of the muffin-pan cups. Have
children look into the different sections (cups) and sort the muffin
counters into the correct muffin cups.
Match Me
Place all the mini muffin counters into the muffin pan. Pick one of the
muffins out of the muffin pan. Ask children to find a muffin that is a
perfect match for the muffin that was picked out. Children can remove
the new muffin with the tweezers or their hands. Line up the muffins
next to each other to make sure a match was found. Repeat this activity
using different color muffins.
One of These Muffins Just Doesn’t Belong
Place all the mini muffin counters into the muffin pan. Pick out three
muffins that are the same color. Then, find one more mini muffin that is
a different color. Set out the four muffins in a row and have children find
the one that is different and tell you why it is different.
Count Your Colors
Place all the mini muffin counters in the muffin pan. Roll the number
cube or say a number such as “six,” and also say a color word such as
“blue.” Ask a child to then find six blue muffins, pick them out of the
muffin pan, and count them. Repeat this activity using different numbers
and different colors.
Solving Story Problems
Place all the mini muffin counters in a pile on the table. Tell a story
problem to children and have them use the muffin counters to “act
out” the story problem. For example, “I had two blue muffins and then
my mom gave me two yellow muffins. How many muffins do I have
altogether?” Repeat this activity for addition and subtraction problems.
Gourmet Games
Place all the mini muffin counters in the muffin pan. Use the number
die to determine how many muffins to take out of the pan. Remove
the muffins with the tweezers. Play until the muffin pan is empty. For
variation, play the same game, but this time use the number die
and
the
color die to determine how many and what color of muffins to take out
of the pan.
Partner Play
Place 10 muffins (any color) in each of the muffin cups. Player 1 is on the
top row of the muffin pan and player 2 is on the bottom row. The object
of the game is to be the first player to empty all your muffins from your
row. Roll the number die to see how many muffins to remove on your
turn. Use the tweezers to remove the muffins. Take turns rolling the die
and removing muffins. The first player to get an empty row is the winner.
