Write numerals on ping-pong balls, using numerals as high as the children can count, one to five or one to ten. Give children each a small cup. Provide plastic containers filled with beans for children to throw the balls into. During outdor time, have the children stand a short distance away and throw the balls in the container. After they have thrown all of their balls, he/she will remove the ones that made it into the container. Have them look at the numerals and count that number of beans into their cups. For example, “I got a 3, 6 and 2 in the container so I will count three beans, six beans and two beans and place them into my cup.” When finished, children can try to count up all of their beans or make comparisons of who has more or less.
