This activity is so much fun for kids! They could play this game for hours and hours and it’s great for 1:1 practice too. First, start by reading a book about ducks to your kids. 10 Little Rubber Ducks by Eric Carle or Five Little Ducks by Pamela Paparone are both perfect for young children. Place a shallow bowl of water in the middle of the table. Give the kids one foam dice and have them take turns rolling it. Children will count the dots on the dice and place the corresponding number of mini rubber ducks in the “pond”. If counting to six is too hard for your kids, tape a piece of paper over the higher numbers and put one or two dots on the paper instead.
THOUGHTS: Did 5 little ducks song in class, can extend further with this activity for numeracy]]> 2017-05-09 14:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170784491 felicialee88 https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170785587 THOUGHTS: I like this because there are stitches to guide the children to place the 'seeds' instead of just numbers: self-correcting! (since their number recognition is something that we still need to work on). They are also working on fine motor skills (pincer grasp). Coincides with theme next term.]]> 2017-05-09 14:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170785587 felicialee88 https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170788113 THOUGHTS: We've been doing a lot of cookery in class (lots of picky eaters), so if we make cupcakes, we can link it this. For higher functioning children, we can also work on same and different (picking out buttons that are the same size or same colours). If done with actual cupcakes, can also practice one-to-one correspondence by having a tea party? (one plate and one cup for each person) No self-correcting mechanism here. Child will need to be able to recognise printed numerals.]]> 2017-05-09 14:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170788113 felicialee88 https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170789941 THOUGHTS: links to theme next term.

Colourful, attractive and interactive. can also work on same and different. also can work on colours.]]> 2017-05-09 15:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170792068 felicialee88 https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170794027 THOUGHTS: again, link to theme next term. can use dot dice instead. practice pincer grasp. also can have parents bring a real apple, cut up, count the seeds and then have the children eat the apple.]]> 2017-05-09 15:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170794027 felicialee88 https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170795682 THOUGHTS: simple and fun. work on small numbers. short waiting time, so children can practice turn-taking. practice fine motor. can be linked back to cookery class when honey is used.]]> 2017-05-09 15:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170795682 felicialee88 https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170796487 THOUGHTS: fun, sensory. can be substituted with different things to link to theme (e.g. flowers, leaves). also working on matching, fine motor]]> 2017-05-09 15:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170796487 felicialee88 https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170799081 THOUGHTS: simple, can use before going into counting. colour matching, practice fine motor skills]]> 2017-05-09 15:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/felicialee88/9ks62bh3zwdo/wish/170799081
