Number Match

You will need the book Fiesta! by Ginger Guy, numeral cards one through 10, picture cards that match the items in the book, and magnets. Pass out the numeral cards to the children. Randomly place each of the picture cards on the magnet board. As you read the story, pause after each item. Ask the children, “Who has the numeral one?” The child holding the numeral one comes up and places it next to the corresponding item in the story. Have that child rearrange the numeral and item so that it will be sequenced properly. Repeat this throughout the entire story, so that you will have numerals identi ed with each item. This could be done in large group.
