Perfect for early learners, this game builds foundational counting skills by presenting groups of colourful objects to count. Children practise one-to-one correspondence, a critical pre-maths skill, while developing confidence with numbers up to 20 and beyond.
Count the objects shown on screen, then select the correct number from the choices. Take your time and count carefully to earn stars.
Touch or point to each object as you count it, so you don't skip any or count one twice. Group objects into fives to count faster.
Counting with one-to-one correspondence — saying one number word for each object counted — is the first major mathematical milestone in a child's development. Children who do not develop reliable counting skills by the end of Kindergarten often struggle with addition and subtraction in Grade 1 and beyond. This game provides the repetitive, low-pressure counting practice needed to build this foundation firmly.
Count Objects is designed for children aged 3-7. It is most valuable for Kindergarten and early Grade 1 (ages 5-7) when counting skills are being established. Children who are already confident counters can use the game to practise subitising — recognising small groups without counting — which speeds up arithmetic significantly.
The most common counting errors are double-counting (counting one object twice) and skipping (missing an object). These are signs that the child has not yet developed reliable one-to-one correspondence. The fix is practice with physical objects before moving to screen-based counting. Arrange objects in a line and teach children to move each one to a separate pile as they count it.
