Don't Lick the Bowl!

Don't Lick the Bowl! is an activity in JumpStart Math for Kindergartners.

Description
Baker Jake's kids must be stopped from tasting the frosting for Guthry's birthday cake. A group of Baker Jake's kids will try to get to the top of the giant bowl containing the frosting, and the player must select the net with the number that matches the number of kids in the group and use that net to stop them by clicking on the kids.

Difficulty level differences

 * Level one: The player has to stop one group of kids at a time by selecting the net with the number shows how many kids are in the group.
 * Level two: The player has to stop two groups of kids at a time by selecting the net with the number that shows the sum of the kids in both groups.
 * Level three: The player has to stop one group of kids at a time. Baker Jake will be able to stop some of kids before the player does, and the player must select the net with the number that shows how many kids remain after Baker Jake's intervention.

Digital manual description
No birthday cake is complete without frosting, but who can resist licking the frosting bowl? Not Baker Jake's kids - that's for sure! It's your job to make sure that that they don't lick the frosting. Otherwise, how's that giant cake going to get frosted?


 * Count the kids as they begin to move up the bowl.
 * Select one of the giant nets on the right to scoop up the kids. The number on the net should match the number of kids moving their way up the bowl.
 * Click on the moving group of kids with the net you've selected.
 * At level 2 you'll see two groups moving toward the mixing spoon. Add the two groups together and select the net that will hold them both.
 * At level 3 you'll see a group start toward the bowl. After Baker Jake grabs some of them, count the kids left over and select the net that will hold them.
