Welcome to the World of Numbers!

Introduction: The Magical Number Adventure

🌟 Attention, Class! 🌟
Today, we’re going on a magical adventure where numbers come to life! Are you ready to explore? Let’s put on our imaginations and dive into the fantastic land of Numbers!

The Countdown to Fun!

1. Gather Around!

Let’s all sit in a circle. Before we begin our adventure, let’s do a quick number check! Can anyone guess how many friends are in our circle today? Let’s count together!

2. The Magic Number Hat

I have a special hat filled with number cards. Each card has a number on it! I’ll pass around the magic hat, and each of you will pull out a card.

• What to do next?
  • If you pull a number card, say the number out loud!
  • If you pull the letter “M,” you get to tell us your favorite number and why you like it!

3. The Number Song and Dance

Now that we’ve uncovered some numbers, let’s get moving! We will sing our special Number Song:

🎶 “One, two, three, come along with me!
Let’s count to ten, as happy as can be!” 🎶

As we sing, let’s dance! Every time we say a number, let’s hop on one foot. Ready? One… two… three… HOP!

Exploring Numbers in Our World

4. Story Time: The Number Parade

Let’s gather around for a story about "The Number Parade!"
It’s a fun tale about how numbers come together for a parade, each bringing something special.

• Questions to ponder during the story:
  • What number is your favorite?
  • What happens when they all work together?

5. Create Your Own Number Art!

To wrap up our adventure, it’s time for some creative fun! You will receive paper and crayons.

• Your task: Draw your favorite number and something that represents that number. For example, if you pick the number “3,” you could draw three apples!

Conclusion: Our Number Journey

6. Sharing Time

Let’s sit back in our circle again and share our number art!

• What number did you choose?
• What did you draw?

7. Goodbye Until Next Time!

As we end our number adventure, let’s remember that numbers are all around us. From counting our friends to counting stars in the sky, numbers are magical!

🦄 Great job, everyone! Can’t wait to see what numbers we will discover next time!
