Homing Pigeons II

About this game:

Imagine a rookery of colorful pigeons all getting ready to settle down for a restful night’s sleep after a busy day of flying around delivering important messages. Each pigeon needs to find its own tree (the staircase matching color of the token) and then its own nest (sorted in sequence from smallest to largest). This second game in the series, is a great way to developing fluency in skip counting skills and introduce multiplication. Children will begin to memorize multiples, and to become familiar with constant rates of change.
