Fun game ideas
- Sensory Activity: Place the shells into an opaque bag. Encourage children to use their hands to identify the shell tactility by feeling them.
- Sensory Memory Game: Create pairs of tactile shells with similar textures. Place them face down and play a memory game where children take turns flipping two shells to find matching pairs by touch alone.
- Texture Exploration Art: Dip the shells in paint or ink and use them as stamps to create textured art. Encourage kids to experiment with different textures and colours.
- Tactile Memory Tray: Place a selection of tactile shells on a tray, let children explore and memorise their textures, and then cover the tray and have them try to recall the textures they felt.
- Counting Collections: Scatter the shells and ask children to count them in various ways (e.g., counting all, counting by twos, counting by fives). This game can be adapted for different skill levels.
-
Number Bonds: Have children create number bonds using the shells to illustrate addition and subtraction relationships. For example, for the number 7, they can use 3 shells on one side and 4 on the other.
