About this resource

Panda and Tiger Spot 3: quick-look dot card game. Panda and Tiger are playing a game: who can spot 3 first? Children take turns to flip dot cards with 1, 2 or 3 dots in different sizes and patterns. They mark each 3 they spot on Panda’s or Tiger’s side of the scoring mat. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • Scoring mat with write-on tally spaces for Panda and Tiger. • 16 dot cards with 1, 2 and 3 dots in different sizes. Ideas for using it: • Panda vs Tiger: Two children play as Panda and Tiger. Whoever says “3!” first makes a mark. • Whole class: Split the class into Team Panda and Team Tiger. Flash cards on the board. • Who is right? Show a card. Panda says 2, Tiger says 3. Who is right? How do you know? • Stay quiet: Children only call out when they see 3. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Fast recognition of up to 3 objects, without having to count them individually (‘subitising’). • Experiment with their own symbols and marks as well as numerals. • Compare quantities using language: ‘more than’, ‘fewer than’. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas. Supplied as a ready-to-print PDF (A4 landscape). Print, laminate and reuse all year.Read more

What you get, one file

  • PDFActivity

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
