Are you looking for a fun way to reinforce counting and addition skills to 20? Our Flip & Find: How Many Feet? game is the resource for you! This activity is ideal to completed after reading the picture book, One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab by April Pulley Sayre and Jeff Sayre.

The aim of the game is for students to flip a card and use counting or addition skills to determine the number of feet. They will try to find the matching number on their game board and cover it with a counter.

Prior to completing the activity, ensure that students are familiar with the included images and their number of feet:

1. Snail = 1 foot
2. Person = 2 feet
3. Dog = 4 feet
4. Insect = 6 feet
5. Spider = 8 feet
6. Crab = 10 feet

This game is suitable for individual work in Foundation to Year 2 and would make a great addition to small group rotations or table activities. This resource includes detailed instructions, six game boards (in high and low colour options), 64 game cards and an optional recording sheet. Please note that most of the game cards include multiple images that must be combined to find the total number of feet. For example, if the card includes a picture of a dog and a snail, the total number of feet is 5.

In addition to the printable templates, students require 12 counters each. Some may also benefit from having access to other manipulatives, such as ten frames or number lines.
