catch an idea with Gold Fish crackers today.
Prepare snack size bags with colored fish so children can dive into these activities…
Estimation- How many fish are in your bag?
Counting- Count and see how many you have.
Did you estimate more or less?
Is it an odd or even number?
Sorting- How can you sort the fish?

Graphing – How many of each color?
Patterning- Can you make a pattern with the fish?
Addition and Subtraction – Make sets and join them together.
Eat and subtract. Can you make up a number story with the fish?
There’s even a website (goldfish.com) where you can learn about Finn and his friends and play games.
Rainbow Fish
After reading "Rainbow Fish," cut strips of paper 8 1/2" by 1 1/4." Cut slits half way through 1 1/2" from each end as shown. Children can color their fish and then hook the tabs to make a fish. Toss in the air and watch your fish fly!!!
P.S. Older kids could use ROY G. BIV to color their fish.
