Counting Flashcards

Material: 

10 3x5 cards

marker

We have been working on counting to ten with little man. I saw this game in a magazine and thought Colton would have fun. I wrote a number on each of the cards then mixed them all up and let Colton put them in order. He had fun and I enjoyed watching him learn. This activity is a good one because it teaches the kids how to count and how to recognize the numbers too.

SORRY! Counting

Materials: 

1- Parkers Brother SORRY! game

Colton has really got into playing games lately with his favorite game being the classic game, SORRY! It was a childhood favorite of mine too so it's fun for me to play the game with my son now. SORRY! is a great game to teach kids how to count and why not have fun while learning. I love that Colton doesn't even realize that we are teaching him. Make sure to allow to let them count along with you so that they can soak in all the knowledge. 

Counting Fish

Materials:

1- fish template, printed and cut out

(template)

20 ish- Pepperidge Farm Goldfish

1- sheet of plain paper

markers

glue

We have been working on counting so when I found this cute fish template from  First School I knew we needed to do it in school. As a review we also worked on F is for fish.

Today we also used goldfish to work on counting. I made a worksheet by writing 1 fish, 2 fish, etc. then an area for total of goldfish. For each number Colton counted corresponding number of fish. When all the numbers were filled up we added then all together and wrote the total number on the bottom.
