Moles pop out of their holes holding dot signs — bonk only the mole whose dots match the called number, from dice dots to ten-frames to counting a dot cloud and bonking its numeral.
Count Moles plays like Whac-A-Mole: moles pop up holding dice dots, then ten-frames, then numerals, and the child bonks only the one that matches the called number — so reading a quantity at a glance (subitising) and counting to 10 are the hammer move itself. A wrong bonk counts that mole's dots out loud on screen (1, 2, 3…) while the other moles duck, targeting the classic off-by-one counting slip without ever ending the game, and the moles pop faster each level. Best for Kindergarten–Grade 1.
