This Jack and the Beanstalk activity focuses on even and odd number beanstalks. Bean cards that feature numerals and number words come with the set. After selecting a few numeral or number word cards, children will place them on the even number or odd number beanstalk.
The set contains gameboards and number cards in color. You could print the cards out in grayscale if you like.

Deciding on Bean Card Sets
The even and odd number beanstalk set comes with numerals or number cards. There is also a number word set of numbers. One set of cards can be focused on while playing the game or both sets can be used. It is really up to you to decide which cards you want to use.
Ways to Use the Beanstalk Game
- Children can sort the number onto the correct stalk in a center. Two children working together will be helpful. They will correct each other if they put the numbers on the wrong stalk.
- Children can work on their own. They will probably need a chart reminding them of what numbers are even and what numbers are odd.
- The game can be printed out on a poster printer. The large game board can be used as a whole group activity. Children can take turns placing a number on the correct beanstalk.
