This game can be played both outdoors and indoors.
Write numbers 0 to 20 or 0 to 10 or just decimals (depending on your children and your teaching goal) on paper. Your child can either write the numbers, if he/she can already do that, or just trace them if you write them with dots, or simply help you decorate them, paint them, color them, and so on.
Ask your child to help you spread them around the garden, making sure they are not lying flat on the floor, but can actually easily be seen from a distance. Ask the child to say the numbers out loud as they choose where to put them.
Then, you can start calling one number at a time. The child needs to run fast towards that number and pick it up and put it in a bag. You can choose to call the numbers in numerical order and/or mix them up.
Great fun, good exercise and great for remembering numerical order and counting.
Indoor version: you can write the numbers on smaller pieces of paper, scatter them on the table and call the numbers. The child needs to help figurines, or little toys or even stuffies find the right number.
