Note: Play the game several times with your child. Each time, choose a different spinner. Have your child predict who will win each game.
- Which spinner did the red counter win with? Why do you think that is?
- Which spinners did the blue counter win with? Why do you think that is?
- If you were going to make a spinner for the game what would it look like?
