This is a fun way for kids to get in the rhythm of counting and the sequence of the numbers. The children should be counting out loud when they are placing nuggets. The children enjoy playing with the gold nuggets. In advance cut out several different colored donuts from construction paper. Laminate and place them in a circle.
Children sit in a circle.
She picked up the red one and she ran on home. The child picks up a colored donut and says the color donut and runs around the circle back to her spot. Repeat the song until all the donuts are gone. This terrific early childhood education activity is contributed by Karen M. , who often shares her ideas. This was a big hit with our 3 yr.
