You give it a shakey-shakey
And you turn it all about
That's how you learn to count!

Ruler Design
Collect a variety of rulers that are of different colors, sizes, and
types. Using rulers, paper and crayons children can create designs.
*Learning Centers
Sensory Table
Add to the sensory table colored water and a variety of measuring tools.
*Group Time
Counting Off (1-10) Game
Need: cards with the number 1-10 on each card.
Have children stand in a circle and count off to the pre-selected
number (draw number from cards).
The child who says the last number in the sequence sits down. The
next child begins with one and the last child in the sequence sits
down again, etc.
The children go around the circle, shipping over those sitting down.
At last there will be only one child standing. He/she draws the card
for the next game.
Look! No Hands!
Invite children to count how many ways they can move a light object
such as a piece of paper or small toy vehicle across a table without
using their hands. For instance, children could try blowing the
object or using elbows, noses, or the tops of their heads.
Number chains
Cut enough paper strips to make a number chain for the days of the
month. During group time each day, add a link to represent the
passage of time.
Follow the Teacher
At group time, provide the directions containing a number. For
example, 1 jump, 2 hops, 3 leaps, 4 tiptoe steps, etc.
Hop and Count
While outside, have child hop in place and count while s/he hops. How
many hops did each child make hopping on both feet? Have each child
hop on his/her right foot. Count together. How many hops were made?
Do the other foot and count together. Ask each child which foot s/he
hopped less.
