Learning Resources Shelby’s Snack Shack Counting Game

Hungry pug is after some bones to snack on! But be careful, the seagull is lurking around the beach ready to steal them too! Shelby’s Snack Shack Counting Game, by Learning Resources, is a fun, engaging way to introduce little ones to key maths skills including basic numbers, counting, adding and subtracting. The game also promotes the development of fine motor skills and turn-taking too. Players simply aim to collect as many bones in their bowl as possible for the hungry pug, by spinning the wheel to see whether they need to add some bones to their bowl, steal some from another player, miss a turn or whether the mean seagull has come along and pinched some. Players use the fun Shelby tweezers to move bones around, so the game is also a great tool for developing fine motor skills, as well as its mathematical aims. Two to four players can play at any time so it’s a great family game.
