What Comes Next?: a counting and Numbers game for kids

Find the missing number: before, after or in between, counting up and back. Your child finds the missing number in a counting sequence, counting up and down.

What children learn

What Comes Next? helps children practise number order: what comes before, after and in between. Every instruction is spoken aloud, so even children who are just starting to read can play without help. Wrong answers never get a harsh sound, so children stay relaxed and keep trying, and correct answers earn stars.

How to play

Your child finds the missing number in a counting sequence, counting up and down. Rounds are short, which suits young attention spans, and the game can be replayed as often as your child likes.
