Counting in 2s Game - Socks on the Washing Line (up to 50)

This download includes a game (for up to x6 players) to practise 'counting in 2’s up to 50' using pairs of socks as a helpful visual guide. This game has been designed to encourage learners to think about ordering two’s numbers separately from the predictable counting pattern. Learners will still need to use their knowledge of counting in 2’s to help them but through playing this game their ability to recall shorter sequences of 2’s numbers should improve.
