How to Play

About the game: Counting Shooting Stars is built for early counters who are learning to subitize and to connect visual groups with spoken numbers. The gentle star field and short sessions make it a calm warm-up for kindergarten or grade 1 learners.

How it works: Each round releases a fresh constellation. Count the stars, tap the number card that matches, and watch the progress bar soar. The game steadily raises the ceiling by adding a few more stars every time, so accuracy matters more than speed. A quick reset lets you replay the full 5-round set for repeated practice.

Skills & next steps: Children practice subitizing, counting-on, and comparing close quantities. Invite them to explain how they grouped the stars (by rows, corners, or color) to deepen number sense.
