Today, we’re going on a fun and exciting adventure to discover the magical world of numbers! Are you ready to become a number explorer? Let’s jump in and find some wonderful numbers around us!
Start the lesson by gathering the children in a circle on the soft mat. Hold up a colorful, mysterious package (a cardboard box wrapped in bright paper) and ask:
"Who wants to help me open this exciting package?"
As they express excitement, open the package to reveal colorful number cards. Hold up the cards one by one, showing the numbers and making big, fun sounds with each one:
"Look! It's the number 1! Can everyone say one?"
Continue revealing each number, encouraging the children to echo you and clap for each new number.
Now that we’ve met our numbers, announce the next adventure:
"Let’s go on a treasure hunt to find numbers around the classroom!"
Hide some number cards around the classroom (fastened to toys, under chairs, etc.). Ask the children to search for the hidden numbers and bring them back to the treasure chest.
Once all the numbers have been found, gather everyone back on the mat to celebrate.
"You found the numbers! Who can help me put them in order from smallest to largest?"
As they sort the numbers, encourage their participation and praise their teamwork.
End the lesson with a fun activity where children can choose a toy or snack from the treasure chest for each number they found. Encourage them to count how many they have!
"One for you, two for you... how many do we have all together?"
This way, they can connect their exploration of numbers with real, fun items they enjoy!
Celebrate the end of the lesson with a fun song about numbers to keep the energy high and make learning a joyful experience!
