Buzz and Beeper Bunny like to play games together.
Find somebunny to be your buddy and do this
page together! If the page looks easy, share it
with somebunny younger than you. If it looks
hard, share it with somebunny older.
You Need:
Each player needs 8 markers. Buttons, pebbles or
even small squares of paper make good markers.
Goal:
Be the first person to get to the sum of 23.
How to Play:
1. The first player puts one marker on a
number and says the number aloud.
2. The second player places a marker on
another number, adds that number to the
previous number and says the total aloud.
3. Play continues until one player reaches exactly 23.

This week’s word:
TRUST
The noun trust means a
firm belief in a character,
strength or truth of
someone or something.
I left my cat in the trust
of my neighbor.
Try to use the word trust
in a sentence today when
talking with your friends
or family members.
Trust
Whom do you trust? Do you know why?
Can you find a picture in the newspaper of
someone you trust? Can you find a picture
of someone you would not trust? Think
about why you selected each picture.
The Easter Bunny has been
spotted and you’re the
reporter covering the story.
Be sure to tell who, what,
when, where, why and how.
Standards Link: Health: Identify support systems in the community.
