Penny a Pompom Game

Not only do my kids work on their fine motor skills (and so many of them this school year need it), but they also work on one-to-one correspondence.

I got the deviled egg trays at the dollar store. A handful of pompoms go in the center.
They shake the penny cup.
Heads = Put one pompom in one cup.
Tails = Take one pompom out.
Want to amp it up? Have them pick the pompoms with tweezers or clothespins.
Want to make it seasonal? Use orange pompoms in the fall (to resemble pumpkins.) You can even call it "Penny a Pumpkin"!
First person to fill up their tray wins!

PomPom Toss and Count

I got this neat little ice tray at the dollar store. I was looking for a small muffin tin, but this was perfect! I wrote the numbers 1 through 5 on the inside with a Sharpie.

How to play:
- A student tosses a pompom at the tray
- If it goes in, they get that many "markers" (here I'm using some miniature Halloween erasers I got from the dollar store, but you could use anything.)
- Note: Pompom Stays In The Cup
- If the pompom misses going into the tray, student loses his turn
- When all the spaces have been filled with pompoms, students count their number of markers, and the person with the most wins!
