How to use it

Find the first number together and join the dots in order with a pencil. When the picture appears, color it in and talk about what it shows. It is one of the easier sheets for Grade 1, good as a warm-up or a first look at the skill.

An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.

Tip for grown-ups: Keep the picture a surprise: guess what it is halfway through, then finish to check.

Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
