Easter Activities – Cute Chick Counting

Posted On March 5, 2013

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”

• 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.
