Help your Year 1 child build confidence with adding on through a fun caterpillar race.

Caterpillar Race is a two-player addition game that helps children see how a total grows as more is added. Each turn, children roll a dice and add the new number to their previous total, recording the growing number along their caterpillar before comparing final totals at the end of the race.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. You'll also receive a printable caterpillar race sheet, ready to use with a dice and pencil or pen.
