What is learned: The child will learn to count to 10. When preschool children first learn to count, they may not realize that the numbers represent a quantity. This activity helps them to understand that numbers represent a quantity.
Getting the most out of the activity: Count along with the computer. Wait until the arrow is clicked to say the next number instead of just saying all of the numbers.
Group activities: Count various objects in the room. How many windows? How many doors? How many pencils? Point to each item as you say the numbers. Hold up a few crayons or other objects and have the children tell you how many they see.
