About Last Star
A winding row of stars waits on the table, and the last one to go is a big smiling star. Your child and Oomi take turns picking up one, two or three stars from the other end, and whoever takes the smiling star wins. Kids who count ahead can find a way to win every time.
How to play
- Tap 1, 2 or 3 to take that many stars from the end of the row.
- Count what is left and try to take the very last star.
- On a computer, press 1, 2 or 3, or choose with the arrows and Space.
What your child practices
- Counting backward
- Planning ahead
- Finding a winning pattern
