Sharing and counting are important concepts for pre-school children to learn. Here are some ideas for teaching these concepts:
-
Model sharing by example. Give each child a few items and encourage them to share with each other.
-
Use simple counting games. Count beas or apples with one or two children at a time. You can also use counting games with items like marbles, rocks, blocks, or other toys.
-
Use rhymes to practice counting. For example, you can use the classic ‘one, two, buckle my shoe’ or the modern ‘badger, badger, mushroom’ to practice counting up to 10.
-
Provide resources that reference counting and sharing. You can provide books or videos that focus on these concepts or provide physical items like counting boards and counting bears to help reinforce these skills.
-
Allow each child to practice. Make sure each child has plenty of opportunities to count and share with each other in a safe, supportive environment.
By providing examples, counting games, rhymes, resources, and practice opportunities, pre-school children can be more equipped to understand and practice counting and sharing!
