I used 10 tops. First write numbers on your tops. I did 1-5 (twice). Next get a paper and trace the tops making 10 circles. Then make dots on your circles. Move the dots around! I did 2 circles for each number. For example 2 circles had 1 dot, 2 circles had 2 dots, 2 circles had 3 dots and so on.

We went over the numbers before we started the game.

Then Kysen matched the numbers to the circles with the same amount of dots.
