blondie Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 hi i did this recently and was a success. i got eight party boxes and numbered them 1 - 8 i placed an animal in each box as they appeared in story eg in box one i put an elephant box 2 i put a girraffe etc - i placed the boxes randomly on floor and let group order them by number. each child was given a box and as i read the page i said "and in box 1 they sent me " the child with that box would then open their box and say the name of their animal. once story was over we discussed the animals - which was the heaviest / lightest , longest / shortest , tallest / smallest etc and ordered the animals by these. another activity we did was each child took a turn to hide their animal whilst other children closed their eyes - the child ( sometimes supported by adult) then used positional / directional clues to direct the other children to the hidden animal . hope thats a help - i know its not all numeracy but might be useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
