The Big Summer Scene

Counting out a number of things, and where they go: in, on, up · ages 3-5

Open on the projector The sheet to print

1. Warm-up, 5 minutes

Count out loud together while one child drops that many blocks into a box.

2. The game, on the projector

The class counts each animal as a helper places it: "One, two, three!" Ask where it went: in, on or up.

Projector mode is the game with ?projector on the end of its address. It's big and landscape, a win waits for you to press Next, and nothing is saved on the computer: no progress, no animal cards, no login.

3. Away from the screen

Bath-time counting with a tub of water and bath toys: "Put four in the water!"

Questions to ask

How many are in the water now?
If one more climbs the tree, how many will be up there?
Where is your favourite animal: in, on or up?
