During large group, play some lively music and have the children move around freely in an open space. When the music stops, the children freeze and listen for you to call out a number “Four!” Then they quickly get into groups of four. If there is a group of less than four, encourage them to figure out how they can “make it four,” by having the teacher join their group, or putting a doll or a puppet with their group. Continue playing with other numbers.
