Once you've got your postbox finished, you can choose any safe, small objects that will fit through the slot - and not break! Game of Ladybirds is a game of anticipation, where players wait with excitement to see how many ladybirds they will turn over - could it be three. There's no hanging about in this fast paced game, as players battle to collect and count the most bananas – but watch out for other players trying to steal them! If you want to give an accurate result of who has won before the end of the meeting then you need 10 minutes for a person to be available to check, sort and count the letters, discarding incomplete ones. I made our box a little more ‘official’ looking by crafting a Post Box and laminating letters – but all you really need is a pen, paper and a box with a slit cut for posting!In the more advanced game, players pick a post box and must be the first to post all the matching-coloured letters to win the game! Children will love posting the letters into the coloured post boxes, whilst grown-ups will appreciate the humorous letters, such as ‘Debbie Duck, 16 Puddle Lane, Poole, LA53 2PA’.

This Post Box Reading Skills Game was a huge hit with both Littlest and Biggest during our break and it has the added benefit of being a fun way to develop their phonics, reading and vocabulary. As well as matching the number on the dice to the number on the cards, players will gain additional maths skills from counting all their ladybirds up at the end. Great for developing fine motor skills, this game can also be used by younger children for role play as well as a durable educational game when they become a little older. This would also work as a Maths Skills Game, or a Geography Skills Game – or pretty much whatever you can think of!In the simple version of the game, players take it in turns to match and post letters into the correctly coloured post box – a great way to introduce turn taking to young players. Sort the mail into the correct post boxes by working out simple addition, subtraction and division calculations as well as multiples.
