Guest Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Was reading through the thread and saw someone else's idea to share our challenge ideas.:   Play with the ice teddy. Make a list of other toys you think will freeze if we put in the freezer.  Write a shopping list, find your toys and buy them, using the right money. Shopping list   Write your news. News    Make up a story using the animals in the sand tray. Tell it to a friend.  Count all of the ‘full stops’ on a page of a non-fiction book.  Draw a diagram of a model. Make sure it has labels and you count all of the pieces you will need.   Draw your favourite present. Make a model of it.
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Count all of the ‘full stops’ on a page of a non-fiction book.   Gosh thats brought back a memory. I had to count all the 'e' s on a page once in junior school. I didnt know why then, and I dont know why now.

Â I guess it's just a different way of getting children to count to a high number without using moveable objects. Â Â Some challenges I've used: Â Create a pattern using objects you find in the classroom. Â Make a cave in the sand (we were reading 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt) Â Sequence the pictures to show how we made the jelly (and write a sentence for each pictures - HA) Â Create a winter scene using paint, collaging or construction (I provided a box of material and the children decided to use the white material to make snow and covered their models in cotton wool completely independently) Â Choose two or three things to buy from the shop, write a shopping list and find the total amount of money you spent.
