Materials and Prep

• No special materials are needed for this lesson.
• Prepare a comfortable and quiet space for learning.
• Be ready to engage in fun activities and encourage the student to participate actively.

Activities

• Number Song

  Start the lesson by singing a fun number song that includes numbers 1 to 10. This can be a simple tune where you count along, encouraging the student to join in.

• Counting Objects

  Use your fingers or point to objects around the house. Count them together, saying each number out loud. For example, count the number of toys or books!

• Number Jumping

  Ask the student to jump a certain number of times for each number you call out. For example, say "Jump 3 times!" and then "Jump 5 times!" This helps them associate numbers with physical activity.

• Number Stories

  Create a simple story that includes numbers. For instance, "Once there were 3 little birds and 2 big birds. How many birds are there in total?" This helps them practice counting in a fun way.

Talking Points

• "Can you show me how many fingers are on one hand? That's 5! Let's count together!"
• "Look at these 3 apples! One, two, three! Can you say the numbers with me?"
• "When I say 'Jump 4 times,' can you jump and count out loud? Let's do it together!"
• "If we have 2 dogs and 3 cats, how many pets do we have? Let's count them together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!"
