Hello, little explorers! Today, we're going on a counting adventure in the jungle. Are you ready to meet some fantastic jungle animals and learn how to count? Let's get started!
Before we dive into our counting, let’s listen to some fun jungle music. Close your eyes and imagine you are walking through a lush green jungle filled with chirping birds and playful monkeys.
As the music plays, introduce Mr. Monkey, our counting guide.
“Hello, kids! I’m Mr. Monkey, and I’m here to help you count the amazing animals in my jungle. Can you all say 'Hello, Mr. Monkey?'”
Now, let’s go on an animal parade! I’m going to show you some pictures of animals, and together, we will count how many there are.
Animal #1: Monkeys
Show a picture of 3 monkeys swinging from trees.
“How many monkeys do you see?”
Animal #2: Parrots
Show a picture of 5 colourful parrots.
Encourage the kids to count: “1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Five parrots!”
Ask the class, “What’s your favourite animal from our jungle parade? How many did we count today?”
“Now that we’ve met some of Mr. Monkey’s friends, it’s time to learn more about counting. Let’s grab our pencils and start counting together on paper!”
Let's make counting an exciting adventure just like our journey through the jungle! 🌟
