Help your Reception child build number confidence through an exciting game.
Ladybird Spot Race is a fun two-player game that encourages children to roll a number and colour the matching number of spots on their ladybirds. As they race to fill their ladybirds first, they'll practise recognising numbers, matching numbers to amounts and counting carefully, while developing turn-taking and early strategic thinking through play.
Simple to set up and easy to play again and again, 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 ladybird game sheet, ready to use with a number dice and crayons, pencils or pens.
