Spring has finally arrived, bringing with it warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and of course, plenty of rain showers! If you’re looking for a fun and educational activity for your little learners to enjoy during the rainy season, look no further than this raindrop counting game!
This game is designed to help your little ones practice their counting and number recognition skills in a playful and engaging way.
Your little ones will need to carefully count the amount of raindrops and then use their number recognition skills to identify the matching umbrella number card.
And let’s face it, children love to count! It’s one of the main preschool math skills and an essential skill for them to develop!
With its cheerful and colorful pictures, this game is the perfect way to get into the spirit of spring! So, grab your rain boots and get ready to count some raindrops – let’s play!
What Skills Can Your Children Learn And Practice?
When playing this fun weather game, your children will have the chance to practice and develop skills such as:
- Counting skills – they’ll have to count the raindrops carefully to ensure they are matching it to the correct number card
- Number recognition – they’ll need to be able to recognize the numbers to match them up correctly

- Hand-eye coordination – to ensure they can move and place the cards together
