Today, we are going to embark on a magical adventure that will take us through the wonderful world of numbers! Are you ready to discover how numbers help us in our everyday lives? Let’s get excited!
Start with a Story: Gather the children in a circle and begin with a short story about a friendly creature, let’s say a playful bunny named Benny, who loves to collect different types of treasures. Every time Benny finds a treasure, he counts them to see how many he has!
"Once upon a time in a sunny meadow, there lived a clever bunny named Benny. Benny loved to collect shiny pebbles, fluffy clouds, and even ripe apples! But each time he found something special, he would stop and count his treasures. How many do you think Benny finds today?"
Introduce Counting: As you share the story, pause and ask the children, “How many apples do you think Benny found?” Encourage them to raise their hands to answer. Use this moment to explain that numbers help us count how many things we have.
Number Chart Fun: Show the colourful number chart to the children. Point to each number, and count aloud together. You might say, “Let’s count to 10 together! One, two, three…” Make it fun by using different voices or clapping hands with each number!
Treasure Hunt Activity: Now, let’s turn the classroom into a treasure site! Scatter the small toys or pictures around the room. Give each child a small basket and ask them to find the treasures. After they gather their treasures, help them count how many they collected using the number chart.
At the end of our adventure, let’s gather in a circle again. Each child can share how many treasures they found and what they learned about numbers. You could then reward them with a small sticker for their “Number Explorer” badge!
Every day is an adventure when we explore numbers together! Remember, just like Benny, we can count all sorts of things around us—like sweets, toys, and even our friends! Until next time, keep your eyes open for more numbers in your world!
Have fun on our number adventure! 🎈
