One again, we were looking for a way to reinforce TW’s learning to count 11-20. His poor hands were going to be chapped for all the hand washing he was doing for practice! I was looking for a way he could practice without my help and didn’t want to take the time to go find a cute printable activity. Post It notes to the rescue.
- Grab a marker and a stack of Post-It notes and write the word and number on each square.
- Lay them out in order in a straight row to say each number.
- Then mix them up and have your child put them in order. Hint: teach them to find the bookends (11 and 20) first.
This became a daily activity at the dining table while I was making dinner. We cheered him on and in no time he mastered this activity.
STORAGE: My quick solution was to put them in arm’s reach of the kitchen table – I popped them on the fridge with his magnet.
APPLICATION: You can use this with so many things to learn in order.
- bible verse
- history timeline
- alphabet
- numbers
- skip counting
- fractions
Let me know how you’ve used this strategy!
