Cube, cone or cylinder?
Some shapes aren't drawings on paper: they take up space, like a die, a ball and a can. They're the cube, the sphere, the cylinder, the cone and the pyramid.

The 14 games of Elephant Plains
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.

Helping our elders
In the herd, the older elephants lead the way and the younger ones take care of them. It's the same with grandparents: love, patience and help.
- 3
Draw the sound
You can write a sound! A dash is a long sound, a dot is a short sound. Listen to the elephant's trunk and find the right drawing.
- 4
Bigger than who?
On the screen everyone looks the same size! Think about their real size: even a baby elephant is bigger than a grown-up cat.
- 5
Which rug is bigger?
The elephant wants the rug that covers the most floor. The shape doesn't matter: count the colored squares in each rug.
- 6
What is this writing for?
We write for lots of reasons: a list to remember, an invitation to invite, a recipe to cook, a note to let someone know. Which kind of writing do we use each time?
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.

What time is it?
A clock has two hands. When the big hand is on twelve, the little hand points to the exact hour. Look at the little hand!
- 8
Plus and minus
The plus sign puts together, the minus sign takes away. Read the problem with the numbers and signs and find the answer.
- 9
Greater, less or equal
The sign opens its mouth toward the bigger number, like a trunk grabbing the biggest pile of peanuts. When the numbers are the same, we use the equal sign.
- 10
Elephant memory
They say an elephant never forgets! Look at the line of numbers, keep it in your head and repeat it in the same order.
- 11
Even numbers
Elephants walk in pairs. Even numbers make pairs with no one left over: two, four, six, eight, ten...

Plains party
Region party
The herd reached the lake and everyone got a trunk shower! Let's remember everything you discovered on the plains.

Numbers in a row
Region party
Numbers don't always come one right after another. Think about which is smaller and put them in a row, up to twenty.
- 14
Solid and object
Region party
A die is a cube, a ball is a sphere, a can is a cylinder. Match each solid to the object with its shape.
