This activity starts with 3 ladybugs which are running around. The user is supposed to touch (catch) them. Over successful catches, the number of ladybugs increases to a moderate level. The ladybugs also goes off screen, so the anticipation and curiosity helps to reinforce the count. 4) Touch the Crabs This activity is absolutely similar to the ladybugs except it presents animated crabs. Both objects (ladybugs and crabs) are considered to grab the attention. Both activities reinforce counting. 5 ) Count the Objects This activity is a small quiz. It presents a number of different objects and gives four options to choose their total count. When the object is touched, it transforms into its current count. This small quiz actively teaches the difference of numbers and counting. 6) Drag & Match Numbers This activity provides numbers in pairs to drag and match.
