Create 20 fish cut-outs with numerals written in permanent marker. Attach a paper clip to the front of each fish – only put it in halfway to leave room for hooking, and place them in the water table. Make a fishing rod out of string and attach a magnet. Encourage the children to go fishing. When they hook a fish, they call out the number on it. When all the fish are caught, ask the children to put them in order by number. To extend this activity, add a countdown timer and have the children work as partners or as a group to put the items in order before the countdown timer sounds.
