Gather the children in a circle and start with a story.
Story Hook:
"Once upon a time in a land filled with colourful numbers, there lived a wise old owl named Ollie. Ollie had a magical map that led to hidden treasures! But to find these treasures, each of you must help solve Ollie's riddles and find the special numbers along the way."
Engaging Narrative:
"One sunny morning, Ollie the wise old owl decided to have a treasure hunt. He needed brave little adventurers to help him! He told them, 'If you can find the hidden numbers, you will uncover the magic treasures of our land!' What do you think the treasures could be? Maybe shiny gems, glittering stars, or even delicious fruits!"
As you share the story, hold up a large, colourful picture of Ollie the owl and the treasure map. This will capture their attention and stimulate their imagination.
Exciting Announcement:
"Today, we're going on our very own Number Treasure Hunt!"
Inviting Participation:
"Are you ready to be brave adventurers and help Ollie find the hidden numbers? Remember, each number we discover brings us closer to our treasure! Let’s work together, use our counting skills, and see what magical surprises await us!"
Encourage them to cheer, "Let’s go on a treasure hunt!" as a fun way to transition into the main mathematical activities of the lesson focused on recognizing numbers, counting, and basic addition.
By combining storytelling with an adventurous theme, you create a dynamic way to ignite young children's interest in mathematics, making learning engaging and interactive from the very start of the lesson!
