How to Use the Jack and the Beanstalk Themed Number Counting Gameboards
While there are many ways that you can use the gameboards, let me walk you through how I would use them with my students.
The link below is an affiliate link.
- Begin by reading a traditional version of Jack and the Beanstalk.
- Give each of your children the version of the gameboard you want them to work on along with a pencil.
- Before starting the sequencing activity, you can have your children color the objects on the page if you like.
- Have the children connect the box containing the word Start and Jack with his mom to the first object mentioned in the book (a bean) with an arrow.
- Continue connecting the events and numbers in order.
- After box ten is reached, draw an arrow from box ten the word End.
Wait! Isn’t This Like Building a Coding Algorithm?
Yes, it is. An algorithm is a series or sequence of steps that need to be completed in order. Sequencing the story events from Jack and the Beanstalk is very much like creating a coding algorithm. If the events are not in order, the story may not make sense.
