Counting races are always fun. Try to count faster than your friend by using Shortcut Counting. Remember that counting doesn't always start from one! You can count by twos, threes, fives, or tens. How quickly can you count the shoes in this group? Count by twos, and you will be twice as quick, or count by threes, fives or tens to be faster still.

数数比赛总是很有趣。 试着用快捷计数比你的朋友数得更快。 记住，计数并不总是从1开始!你可以数二、三、五或十。 你能多快数出这组鞋子? 数到二，你的速度会快一倍;数到三，数到五，数到十，速度会更快。

To play Counting On, the leader throws a handful of things onto the floor or table. The other players have a race to count them and say the right answer. The best way is to notice a group of things, and count on from that group. There might be six buttons together, so you can count on from six by ones, twos or fives.

在玩count On游戏时，领导者将一把东西扔到地板或桌子上。 其他玩家有一个比赛来数它们并说出正确答案。 最好的方法是注意一组事物，并从这组事物中依赖。 可能有6个按钮在一起，所以你可以从6开始数1、2或5。

Guess the Number is fun! The leader hides a group of stones or buttons or other small things under his hand. The others try to guess how many. If the first guess is not right, the leader must give a clue, like "There are three less than that." The first player who works out the right answer becomes the next leader.

猜数字很有趣!领导者把一堆石头、纽扣或其他小东西藏在他的手下面。 其他人试着猜有多少。 如果第一个猜测不正确，领导者必须给出一个线索，比如“比这个少三个”。 第一个算出正确答案的玩家成为下一个领导者。

For Memory Test, a piece of paper is used to hide some groups of things, like stones and buttons and pencils. The players are told they have a short time to look at the things before they are covered over again. They must try to remember how many things were in each group.

在记忆测试中，一张纸被用来隐藏一些东西，比如石头、纽扣和铅笔。 玩家被告知他们有很短的时间看东西，然后再看一遍。 他们必须试着记住每组有多少东西。

You need to play fast in Number Patterns! The leader says or writes a list of numbers that have a pattern and asks, "What's next?" An easy pattern might be: 22, 33, 44, ? or 9, 7, 5, ? The first person to notice the pattern gets a point and has the next turn. You will be able to think of much harder patterns, like 99, 89, 79, ?

你需要在数字模式中快速发挥!领导者会说出或写下一串有规律的数字，然后问:“接下来是什么?”一个简单的模式可能是:22,33,44，? 还是9 7 5 ?第一个注意到这个模式的人得到一分，并有下一个回合。 你就能想出更难的图案，比如99 89 79 ?
