For example:

Taking the theme of apples.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 more advanced than we 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, like when you cut the apple slices ten, and each applein 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.

resolved,

seven, eight nine

time

ten, eleven, twelve

to deepen the bell! "

You can also hand the movements of this type of counting games for children, children often learn the song faster if you use hand gestures, the more itmakes 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.

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 many games for children to count:

"Down by the school from the bakery

There are ninedonuts with a little sugar,

Along Came (child's name) all alone

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