Easter Activities – Cute Chick Counting

Over the coming weeks our “Tot School” will have an Easter theme.  

The first activity I have created is a “Cute Chick Counting” 

 

My Pigeon Pair – Cute Chick Counting

  • Simply Download
  • Print
  • Cut each card
  • Laminate and cut again (for longevity)
  • Put in a “Busy Bag”
To teach: 
  • Lay all the number cards out in front of the child.
  • Say the numbers out loud together.
  • Now introduce one “Chick” card at a time.
  • “How many chicks are on the card? Use your finger to point to each chick and say the number out loud for me”
  • After the child has counted the chicks correctly ask them “Can you find a number card that matches?”
  • Pair the cards together as you go!

You could also;

  • Line the chicks up from the smallest to the largest number
  • Line the number cards up from the smallest to the largest number.
  • Ask your child to close their eyes and remove one card.  See if they can guess and then count to see which card is missing.
  • Write over the numbers with a white board marker
  • Get some of the fluffy little chicks available at Easter time and count them out placing one fluffy chick on one chick picture! 
  • Describe the easter eggs the chicks are in use colours and descriptions of lines or dots.
The possibilities are endless! Simply click on the link above and get counting!
