Simple and fast games
• Turn the bears face-down and divide them
equally among players. Play a game of high-low
using one of the following game-play options:
the bear with the most hearts wins, the bear
with the fewest hearts wins, or declare either
high or low before turning over the bears.
• Make a pattern using the bears.
• Turn all bears face-up. Challenge players to
make a 1–10 number line by linking the bears
in order. Suggest making a number line with
alternating bear colors.
