Learning Objective: To practice counting in single digit numbers and matching the abstract of numbers to objects.
My final activity for the week is a fun counting one. We have so much fun doing this!
I will find my self somewhere to sit where I can spread objects out to count them and then I ask my daughter to go and find me 'one thing' and bring it back to me. She then heads off and brings me one thing back.
Me: Ooo what did you bring me?
K: Rainbow, my stuffy.
Me: Great! How many did you bring me?
K: 1.
Me: 1 Rainbow - horaay!
Next I ask her to go and find me 2 of something. Off she goes again and brings back 2 of something.
Me: What did you find this time?
K: barbie's
Me: Shall we count them? Together?
Both of us: 1, 2.
Then we move onto 3 items and then 4 and so on...........
This game can obviously go on for a long time but I tend to stop it sooner rather than later while she is still having fun. Then we might come back to it later in the day or the next day. We can start again at the beginning or we might start where we left off or I ask her where she would like us to start.
Something to note: You may want to tidy up as you go. I normally ask her to put the previous numbers stuff away as she goes to find the next one, other wise you very quickly gain a pile.
Alternatively if you are near a table you could lay the items out in lines to show the increase in numbers.
