Keeping with our mystery theme, today our little detectives will put their clues in order. Begin by counting from one to ten with the children. For younger children, you may want to focus on one to 5 until they are confident to move to a longer string of numbers. Arrange large cards on a chalk rail or floor. On each card is a number from one to ten. Say the numbers aloud as you place them in order. Ask the children to repeat the names of each number with you. Now give the children clues calling on one child at a time to give you the answer. For example: “I come before 5. What number am I?” Once all the children have had a chance to answer correctly, invite one child to give the clues for the class. Continue until all the children have a chance to ask the clues. Check out this week’s free lesson plan for complete instructions on this game of clues.
