How to play
How to play
Players model counting sequences by moving between various spots with different types of travel.
Arrange numbers around the room, eg. 1-10.
Call out a sequence and a starting number (e.g. counting forwards by 1 from 3).
Players then link the spots called.
Vary the way players move between spots e.g. running, skipping, jumping, animal walks.
Optional: players record the counting sequence on a number line.
Variations
Variations
Change the sequence e.g. even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, followed by odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7
Counting backwards.
Use skip counting patterns, eg. 2, 4, 6, 8.
Count by 10s.
