The Starting Adventure: "The Number Treasure Hunt!"

Warm-Up Activity: The Magic Number Song

Let’s begin our lesson with a catchy song! Sing along to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”:

Uno, dos, tres, so bright,  
Count with me, it feels so right!  
Cuatro, cinco, seis, let’s go,  
Numbers everywhere, we’ll learn and grow!  
Siete, ocho, nueve too,  
Counting numbers, just me and you!  
Diez, veinte, let’s all cheer,  
Learning numbers, our fun is here!  

Encourage the children to clap their hands or stomp their feet as they sing along!

Story Time: "The Lost Number"

Now, let's gather around for a short story!

Once upon a time, there was a little number named Uno (1). He loved to play with his friends but one day, all the other numbers disappeared! He decided to go on a treasure hunt to find them.

Can you help me count how many numbers Uno meets on his adventure?

1. When we shout "¡Hola!" to Uno, we start with 1.
2. Then, he finds Dos (2) hiding behind a tree.
3. Next, he meets Tres (3) jumping in the flowers.
4. And then, he spots Cuatro (4) splashing in a puddle.

Count Together:

Let’s count the numbers together as we help Uno find his friends!

• Uno (1)
• Dos (2)
• Tres (3)
• Cuatro (4)

How many friends did Uno find? (Pause and let the children respond.)

That's right! He met four friends! So, 1 + 4 = 5!

Closing Circle: Share and Review

As we finish our activities, let’s sit in a circle and share our creations.

• Ask the children:
  • “What number did you choose?”
  • “What is your favorite number and why?”

Wrap up the lesson by singing our number song again and encouraging them to practice counting at home.
