Feed the Kitty

My students and family will agree- I adore playing games.  Especially games that teach math concepts!  On a recent thrift store run, I found an interesting little game called Feed the Kitty!  Feed the kitty is a great little 'dice' game that reminds of spinning the dreidel.  The game is appropriate ages four and up; however, I'd like to think I know some three year olds that would be able to play this game! 

The game consists of 20 wooden mice, a dish for the mice, and two special dice.  The dice have pictures of arrows, mice, a sleeping kitty, and bowls on the faces instead of numbers.  The mice are divided among the players and players take turns rolling the dice.  Pictures on the dice provide the direction for keeping, passing on, or placing your mice in the bowl.  The winner is the last player who still has mice!  Parents and teachers, this is a nifty little game to teach number concepts to your small ones. To find out more about Feed the Kitty visit the GameWright page.
