Fun with numbers: counting games to teach

The goal is to keep boring. It has in many cases the repetition is to teach singing in a playful way, the basic principles as the count was demonstrated. It can also be an exercise / pause for the children.

The following are some good tips and some ideas that you can count the games as the basis for your:

Or arguments:

Do you have a specific lesson plan that revolves around a visual aid or activities that count.

For example:

We take the issueMele. Maybe you could eat the apple slices as a snack children during your class. Tell each student that he or she receives four apple slices and counting the panes.

If the class is already more advanced can say is "we are quite ok forty-eight slices of apple. There were twelve of us in class. So who can tell me how to get a lot of apple slices to each of you?"

Or maybe you could try something less complicated, as if we were still ten apple slices, and each appleis cut into five slices of apple. How many apples do we have to make apple slices in ten? "And if the group of elderly people may ask," How about twenty? "And so on.

This type of counting games for children, in a case like this would be to compare the colors used as a method of teaching the children - how the different colors of apples, the colors, the apples are, therefore, that colors the apples are not , etc.

or repetition:

Repetition is very important to learn allCan everyone. However, repetition is the most important when learning numbers, colors, letters, etc. games, activities and stories, where numbers are repeated a great counting game for children.

Games and exercises to use the repetition is also a foundation for children and their successful educational experience for the rest of their lives - for further learning as the basis for modeling all.

If you like the games count in the classroom,should try to play games based on a regular basis. Choose games that introduce them to use them regularly on the basis of the response of children of different first game that you want.

It 's a fact that more children (or anyone for that matter) to repeat the same information, the more likely it is to be stored in its memory.

Rhymes or

I believe that rhyming is one of the very best methods to assess students as counting games for your. Inthe same way children memorize the alphabet of the methods of rhyme and / or singing is unparalleled as a storage medium.

For example:

Sing a song about numbers with your students, such as:

Sing:

"One, two, three

Scrape your knee

four, five, six

resolved,

seven, eight nine

time

ten, eleven, twelve

to deepen the bell! "

You can also hand movements with this kind of games for the countChildren, children are often quicker to learn the song, if you use the hand movements, makes the game more fun!

The movements of the hand also allows the children to leave their seats for a while '- a short break from sitting at a desk - that's good for them.

Another example of a fun song count:

This song, "The Bakery" is one I remember feeling a little 'back - even if you do not use it in class, must be very effective, but also one of manyIncludes games for kids:

"Down by the school from the bakery

There were nine little donuts with sugar on top,

Along Came (child's name) all alone

(He or she) raised the red and ran home.

Then, of course, repeat until you are at zero. This kind of games can be fun, so maintain your students' attention. E 'is particularly exciting because you sing as a child's different every time.

If the class is too largeI sing to you on behalf of each child without wasting too much time in the classroom - who wants him around. Sing half of the students change the name of song during the day, and so the other half of the class gets a turn next time
