Use this activity to introduce the concept of "zero." Ask the children preposterous questions such as, "How many elephants do you see in our room?" then prompt them to answer, "ZERO!" Continue by asking how many actual zebras, live dinosaurs, giraffes or airplanes they see. Each time have the children look around and then answer, "ZERO!"
