| Basic board games with simple dice Larger home-made die with the following on the sides:
Simple board games (probably best to be home made so they can be simple and adapted to meet your needs e.g. reinforce the colours being taught etc). | 1. Take it in turn to roll a die. 2. Count the spots on the side that faces up. 3. Repeat the number a few times - 'ok, you go 3. Number 3; let's count 3 places...' 4. Move the counter forward 3 places, counting each square. 5. Roll again etc. | Repetition Count each spot/square by touching it with your finger Extension activity: each square could be one of 3 colours. When you land on a red square you choose a card from the red pile... so vocabulary or sight words etc. could be targeted too. |
| Counting actions Action Cards - clapping, jumping, nodding, stand up; Simple die (as above). |
