Hello, Year 1 mathematicians! Today, we’re going on a magical adventure where numbers come to life! Are you ready to unlock the secrets of the number kingdom? Let's jump right in!
First, let’s all sit in a circle on the carpet, eager for our adventure. I have a special surprise for you—The Magical Number Hat!
Inside this hat, there are some colourful number cards. Each card has a different number from 1 to 10. When I pull a card from the hat, it will tell us what fun activity we’ll do together!
Let’s start! I’m going to pull out the first card…

Look! It's the number 3! That means we'll do 3 jumping jacks together!
Let’s all stand up and count together as we do our jumping jacks:
One! Two! Three! 🎉
Great job, everyone! Now, let’s see what the next number will bring!
Let’s see what other numbers we can find! (Continue pulling numbers and assigning fun physical activities, like clapping, hopping, or spinning based on the number revealed.)
After we’ve revealed several numbers, let’s sit back down and talk about what we just did.
That’s the end of our magical start to today’s mathematics lesson! Remember, numbers can show us so much fun and adventure. They're not just for counting; they can be part of our games too!
Now, let’s dive into more exciting activities using our numbers and have even more fun! 🧙♂️✨
And that's how we can kick off a Year 1 maths lesson with creativity and physical engagement!
