Use purchased pick-up sticks or similar real and found materials such as chopsticks or wooden skewers with the points cut off. Place the sticks in the center of the table and have children remove them one by one. Describe how they are moving the sticks. “Colin is trying to get the one on the bottom. He's being careful not to move the ones on top.” This can be done in small group.
