The Magic of Numbers! 🎩✨

The Adventure Begins

Imagine you are a brave explorer walking through a magical forest filled with numbers! In our forest, we can find tall numbers like 10 and small numbers like 1 hiding behind trees.

Let's Make Some Noise!

To wake up our magical numbers, let’s all stomp our feet and say, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5!” Can you feel the numbers coming to life?

Meet Our Number Friends 🍏🍌🍇

Number Hunt

Now that our numbers are awake, let’s go on a Number Hunt!

Instructions:

1. Materials Needed:

   • A basket or bag to collect number friends.
   • Picture cards or toys that have numbers on them (make sure to have numbers 1 through 5).

2. Activity:

   • Spread the number cards/toys around the area and let the children find them.
   • As they find each number, they can shout it out loud, and we will count them together!

Counting with Fun!

Let's Count Together

Once you have collected all your number friends, let’s sit in a circle. We’ll take turns showing our numbers and counting together!

• Who has the number 3? Count out loud with us: “1, 2, 3!”
• What about the number 2? Let’s count those together too: “1, 2!”

Conclusion

Today, we’ve discovered that Maths can be magical and full of surprises! Remember, our number friends can be found everywhere—at home, in the park, or even in your toys.

Before we end our adventure, let’s finish with a fun song about numbers! 🎶

Number Song (to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

Count, count, count with me,
One, two, three, and four—oh, gee!
Five is fun, it’s time to play,
Count the numbers every day!
Count, count, count with glee,
Maths is magic! Yes, you’ll see!
