Objectives:
- Identify numbers 1 - 20.
- Recognize when you have the lucky number.
- Combine numbers to make the lucky number (Variation for older children).
Materials:
- Number cards 1 - 20 placed in a circle on the floor
- A spinner to identify the lucky number
Note: The spinner can be a board or piece of cardboard with the numbers 1 - 20 arranged in a
circle. A wheel or pointer is attached loosely in the center so it can spin and point to the lucky
number.
Setting:
Stand in a line around the circle of numbers. Place the spinner in the center of the circle or
at the front of the class.
Activity:
When you hear the music, march around the circle. When the bell rings, run and stand by
a number card. Raise your hand when you hear your number. Next, someone spins the wheel to
find the lucky number. The person who is standing by the lucky number is the winner.
One, two, three and around we go
How many numbers do you know?
When you hear the bell run and stand by a number
Raise your hand when you hear your number (Bell rings)
1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
Now it's time to spin the wheel and see
What the lucky number will be . . . (Four bar instrumental)
One, two, three and around we go
