We have a couple of boys that are really interested in Indianna Jones. I wonder if anyone has any ideas of activities - role play etc. Over the weekend I'm going to laminate pictures to do with Ind Jones and hide them in the sand - they can count how many they find, etc. Counting and recognising numbers is something we want to do with these boys and I am sure that using this topic they will be very interested. Has anyone any ideas please? Sue J
