"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to start our lesson about numbers. Can anyone tell me what a number is? Yes, that's right! Numbers are symbols we use to count and measure things around us.
Now, let’s look at the numbers from 1 to 20. (Point to the whiteboard.) Here are the numbers! Let's read them together. Ready? One, two, three... all the way to twenty! Great job, class! It’s important to remember these numbers because we use them every day!"
"Next, I am going to give each of you a number card. (Hand out the cards.) Each card has a number on it, and your task will be to fill them out during our lesson today.
Now, when you fill your card, make sure you write the number clearly. Can everyone hold their card up so I can see that you have one? Fantastic! Let's move on!"
"Now that we all have our number cards, we are going to do a counting activity together. I have some counting objects here (show counting objects). Let’s practice counting these objects one by one.
Can anyone count with me? (Start counting together.) 1, 2, 3, 4... and 5! Great! Let's try counting to 10 with these objects. Who can help me count?
Now, I want you to remember your number cards – we’ll be using them shortly in the next activity."
"Alright, friends! It's time for a short physical break so we can all refresh our minds and bodies. Let’s get up and do some jumping jacks together!
On the count of three, let’s all jump! One... two... three! (Lead the students in jumping jacks for a minute.) Great job! Now take a deep breath and let's settle back down!"
"Now, it’s your turn! I want you to fill out your number cards based on the prompts I will give you. For example, if I say '4,' you will write the number '4' on your card.
Remember, you can count on your fingers or use the counting objects if you need help. If you’re stuck, just raise your hand, and I’ll come help you. Ready? Let's begin! (Provide prompts for various numbers during this time.)"
"Time’s up! Let’s see how we did. I will come around and take a look at your number cards. (Walk around and check understanding.)
If I see that you wrote the correct numbers, I’ll give you a thumbs up! If you have any mistakes, I’ll help you fix them. Remember, it’s okay to make mistakes; that’s how we learn!"
"Great work today, everyone! Let’s recap what we learned. We talked about numbers 1 to 20 and practiced counting using some fun activities.
Numbers are essential for us to use every day. Does anyone have any questions about what we did or about numbers? No questions? Alright!
For homework, you will complete a worksheet where you practice writing numbers from 1 to 20. Don’t forget to show your parents all the fun things we did in class today. Have a wonderful day!"

Let's stretch and move, it's time for fun,
With simple exercises for everyone!
Stand up tall, reach for the sky,
Breathe in deeply, let out a sigh.
Start with jumping jacks, one, two, three,
Jumping up high, feel the energy!
Now let’s march in place, lift those knees,
Marching like soldiers, it's a breeze!
Twist your body from left to right,
Wiggle and shake, what a delight!
Touch your toes, bend down low,
Feel the stretch, let the tension go.
Do some squats, down and then up,
Pretend you're a frog in a big green cup!
Run in place, fast or slow,
Speed up your heart, feel the flow.
Now let’s balance on one leg, oh so steady,
Switch to the other, are you ready?
Wrap your arms around, hug yourself tight,
Close your eyes, let’s rest for tonight.
With each little move, we’re feeling so free,
Physical fun is the key, you see!
Now back to our seats, let’s settle down,
We've lifted our spirits, without a frown.
