This document describes two number games called Mat Match and Young Whale that are part of the Outnumber program. Mat Match is a matching game where players turn over number cards and match them in pairs. Young Whale is a collecting game where players take turns placing number cards face up and the player with the lower number card takes the pile. The goal is to help kids build number recognition and math skills through interactive games using number characters and stories.

2. Can you memorize and rewrite the above
text?
Difficult, isn’t it?
Numbers and alphabet are nothing but bunch
of random lines for kids. And we wonder why
they don’t get the shape of 3 correctly!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

3. OUTNUMBER help kids connect numbers with
images, stories, and personalities to build a
stronger recall.
In Outnumber, every
number is a different
character. Each has a
personality and a story
of their own. Here,
number 4 may seem like
a monk in deep
meditation, whereas 7
looks like a scared man,
9 resembles a diva and
fashionista.
WHY PLAY OUTNUMBER?

4. WHEN YOU OPEN THE HOUSE…
You will find…
20 Number Cards
20 Number Name Cards
20 Counting Cards
1 Rulebook

5. GAME 1 - MAT MATCH!
Major Focus
Number recognition (1 to 20)
Number names in words
This game is for…
2 - 6 Players
Who wins?
The player who collects maximum number of
pair
Who moves first?
Before starting the game, each player will
randomly pick a card. The player who picks
the lowest number card (number, number
name, or counting card) becomes the 1st

6. HOW TO PLAY MAT MATCH?
Take the sets of Number Cards and the
Number Name Cards.
Shuffle all the cards and spread them,
facedown, on a flat surface. No card should
overlap the other.
Choose the cards based on the skill you want
your kid to practice. If you want her to practice
counting, select the Number Cards and the
Counting Cards.

7. Ask player 1 to turn-over any one card and
leave it face-up.
Now, the next player will also turn over
one card.
Next, she will scan all the open cards and
try to pair them with the one she opened.
Let’s say player 1 had turned a Number
Name Card of 5.
Now, if the card turned by next player is
the Number Card 5, she can match it to the
card turned by player 1 and keep both the
cards with herself.

8. As a reward for winning a pair, she gets to
turn another card and match it with other
open cards to make a pair.
The process repeats until she turns a card
which has no matches.
The game ends when all the cards have
paired.
Want more challenge!
To increase the difficulty level of the game,
include the 3rd set and ask the players to
make sets of 3 cards.

9. GAME 2 – YOUNG WHALE!
Major Focus
Number recognition (1 to 20)
This game is for…
2 - 5 Players
Who wins?
The player who collects maximum cards.
Who moves first?
Before starting the game, each player will
randomly pick a card. The player who picks
the lowest number card (number, number
name, or counting card) becomes the 1st
player.

10. HOW TO PLAY YOUNG WHALE?
Take 1 set of cards, shuffle them, and
distribute equally among all the players.
No player will see their cards. The cards
they get will be kept face down at all times.
Player 1 will begin the game by picking the
top card from her stack and putting it in
the play zone for everyone to see.
Now, player 2 will also pick up the top card
from her stack and put it over player 1’s
card.
For initial practice, choose just one set of
cards. This should be based on the knowledge
level of your kids and the skill you want them
to practice.

11. If the value of player 2’s card is lesser than
that of player 1’s card, she will take all the
cards from the play zone and add it to the
bottom of her stack.
Let’s say player 1 had played card with
number 7 on it.
Now, player 2
plays her card
which turns out to
be number 2. In
this case, player 2
will take away all
the cards in the
play zone. Why?
Because, 2 < 7.

12. In case the number played by player 2 was
greater than or equal to 7, then the game
would have continued to the next player
playing her card.
Whenever a player plays the lower card
and wins the cards, she will begin the next
round by playing the top card from her
stack.
The game ends when a player runs out of all
her cards. The player with maximum cards
is the winner and is declared as the Young
Whale.
For more challenge, play with 2 or more sets.
Let kids compare numbers in various forms.
