Counting

FMF1.4 Letters in my name

(F) Counting to 10, knowing numbers without
counting
Line children up. Point to the first child in the line. They say
the number of letters in their name. If they do this quickly and
correctly, they stay where they are in the line. If they are slow or
give an incorrect answer, they go to the back of the line. The first
child then points to another child who says the number of letters
in their name. Once again, if they are slow or give the incorrect
total, then they go to the back of the line. Work down the line,
keeping a fast pace, instructing children to point to one another
and say the number of letters in their names.

Adaptations
Can also be used for:
• saying the number of fingers held up and shown (F)
