AnonyMouse_19762 Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Hello Ria and welcome to the forum It seems that lots of providers are returning to themes/topics these days - not something that I am keen on - but each to their own! Could you count 'body parts' - we have lots of 'twos' eyes ears feet arms hands legs! Perhaps count how many children are wearing blue or whatever colour! Have you got buttons on your clothes - how many etc etc Sure someone far more helpful will be along soon!
AnonyMouse_2268 Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Hi Ria like sunnyday its been a while since I did topics - but some ideas we've explored spontaneously that might link to yours would be exploring and comparing so you might do …. size - hands, shoe size, height. (you could try adding measures / rulers, introduce using blocks, toy cars, string or anything really to measure, children could try drawing around each other, ordering smallest to tallest, grouping shoe sizes...) - you could take photos to record these explorations and make a booklet for children to look at which will help continue the interest and discussions. graphs representing how many - eg eye/hair colour, girls / boys... talking about their number (ages...make a photo display or booklet showing who is 2 who is 3 etc....) or house numbers....again a photo book or display of doors with numbers on will encourage discussion and familiarity with numerals... hope this helps

Hi Ria ...rather than thinking about what you need to teach maybe look at what the children need to learn. I often find looking at things this way makes it much easier to come up with ideas, SO if your group is good at counting up to 5 for instance then maybe you could do something with counting the whole group ...or finding how tall everyone is or doing graphs etc etc etc 1
