Give a small group of children a small plastic bowl and a collection of counting bears. Use a large spinner to select numbers one through five. Spin the spinner and call out the number. Each child counts out that many bears and puts them in his/ her bowl. Continue spinning and counting until the bowls are full. Another time, use insects or fruit instead of bears.
