About How Many Legs?
The foot sign at the top means one thing: count the legs. A dog has four, a bee has six, a spider has eight, and a fish or a snake has none at all. Your child taps the total, which grows into adding and even multiplying as more animals appear.
How to play
- Look at each animal and think about how many legs it has.
- Add up the legs of all the animals and tap the total.
- With a keyboard, press 1, 2, 3 or 4 to pick an answer.
What your child practices
- Animal body facts
- Counting by 2s and 4s
- Adding several numbers
- Early multiplication
