Use handheld mirrors.

  • What are you good at?

  • What do you love doing?

  Create a self-portrait as your “super duper” self.

Here is your general timetable for the day to help you understand what you will be doing.

In each box just select and find a list of activities that you can do.

Concept: Sharing equally

• Give children a small number of snacks (e.g., grapes, crackers).

• Ask them to share between 2 or 3 teddy bears or friends.

• Model language:
  “Let’s share these 6 grapes between 3 teddies. One each… now again…”

Builds: one-to-one correspondence, fairness, early division

🧸 2. Teddy Bear Picnic

Concept: Equal groups

• Set up several teddies and plates.

• Give a pile of food items (toy or real).

• Children distribute food so each teddy gets the same.

Extension:

• Ask: “Do they all have the same? How do you know?”

🧮 3. Sorting into Cups (Grouping)

Concept: Division as grouping

• Provide counters, buttons, or cubes.

• Ask children to put 12 objects into groups of 2 (or 3).

• Count how many groups they made.

This introduces the idea: “How many groups can we make?”

🚂 4. Train Carriages Game

Concept: Equal grouping

• Use toy trains or draw carriages.

• Put the same number of passengers (counters) in each carriage.

• Ask: “If there are 8 passengers and 4 carriages, how many in each?”

🍪 5. Playdough Sharing

Concept: Fair sharing

• Give one lump of playdough.

• Ask children to split it into equal parts for 2 or 4 people.

• Compare sizes to check fairness.

🎲 6. Dice Sharing Game

Concept: Repeated sharing

• Roll a die and collect that number of objects.

• Share them between 2 players.

• Discuss remainders naturally:
  “Oh! One left over—what should we do?”
