Fishing

We have all played some version of this game. At the local carnival, or the magnetic board game version, kids love catching fish! I added a couple learning elements to my version (colors, and counting). What you need to make your own fish game:

Water (a towel or pillowcase will work fine, we used blue sequin fabric)

• Fish (I did multiple colors and sizes, with glitter)
• Fishing rod (Shish kabob sticks and ribbon)
• The sticky parts (I used a magnet for a fish eye and a magnet on the rod, you could use a magnet and paper clips or anything magnet/metal combo)
• A fish ruler* (I didn’t use a real ruler because it has too many lines and would confuse Miss V, we did a simple strip with only 4 lines)
  

V loved this game and very quickly caught on to the idea of catching then measuring the fish. We also practiced saying fish and all of the colors in Spanish and English. We also “ate the fish”.

*I made my ruler backwards, oops!
