The 14 games of Pelican Pier
2 and 3 year olds
To get started: few options, big pictures and the teacher’s voice.
- 2
The heaviest
There's a hanging scale at the pier. Tap something to hang it: the heavier it is, the lower the pointer goes. Put the heaviest one in the basket.
- 3
Fishing log
The pelican marks everything it caught on the chart. Count the fish and the shells and color one box in the column for each one.
- 4
Two lines
Now there are two containers, each with its own line. Pour into each one until the water reaches its line.
- 5
The lightest
Now the pelican wants the lightest thing. Hang each one: the lightest one keeps the pointer highest up.
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.
- 6
How many cups
How many cups of water fit in each container? Pour and count, one at a time, until it's full. Then say how many fit.
- 7
Weigh the box
The boxes at the pier all look the same on the outside! Hang each one on the scale, read the number where the pointer stops and keep the one with the weight we ask for.
- 8
Catch of the day
Today the net brought up a bit of everything: fish, shells, starfish and even an old boot! Make the chart and say what came up the most.
- 9
Light to heavy
The boat carries the boxes in order: first the lightest, then the heavier ones. Weigh them all and put away the lightest one each time.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.
- 10
Which holds more
A tall, thin container or a short, wide one: which holds more? Your eyes can trick you! Fill each one counting the cups and compare.
- 11
Line of boxes
Four boxes with weights very close to each other. Weigh them carefully, compare the numbers and put them away from lightest to heaviest.
- 12
Pier party
Region party
The pelican filled its beak with fish and called everyone to the pier party! Let's remember everything you played with it.
- 13
Party cups
Region party
There's juice for everyone at the party! Fill up to the line, count the cups and find out which container holds more.
- 14
Party scale
Region party
The party presents need to be weighed: the heaviest, the lightest, the exact weight and the line from light to heavy.
