✓PTT Tips:
This is a wonderful game for a variety of skills! Race to carry the pancakes to match the picture card. This is great for gross motor skills, as you can vary the amount of length between the start and finish, can add in obstacles or things to step over and a nice game for incorporating movement too! This game also works on f visual skills-use visual memory to recall which type of pancake is next to retrieve, and also works on visual perceptual skills for matching the types of pancakes in correct sequence to the picture. This game is also great for fine motor skills and hand/eye coordination skills as you must balance the pancakes on the spatla while carrying to your plate. I also love that this game can be easily graded to different skill levels and to what skills you want to focus on: for younger kids you can just focus on transporting the pancakes (and even omit using the spatula) or sit at the table and just work on visual skills with sequencing the correct order for pancakes….so many modification options! Mostly, my kids have been LOVING this game, it is perfect for food themed activities and for rainy day movement fun!
