Pop It Literacy and Numeracy Games

Pop It Literacy and Numeracy Games

(0)
12 Literacy and numeracy games I created to play with the Pop-it Gameboard. I bought mine from eBay. These could also be adapted to play with any pop-it. The pop-it itself doesn’t need to be numbered or adapted, but there does need to be an element of one side versus another, so perhaps better played with two individual pop-its if you don’t have the gameboard. You also require a dice. The game cards have been created so they can be printed off, laminated and held together as a set with a keyring. They are double sided. Happy popping!
