Christmas Activities – Count the Room

Description

This Christmas themed count the room activity is a great way to introduce some Christmas fun into your learning. Students have to hunt around the room (or in sensory trays, playground etc) for the task cards, count inside the present ten frame and then record their answer on the recording sheet.

There are 2 different count the room flashcards included. They come in 2 levels of difficulty – students can either use flashcards 1-10 or 1-20, depending upon which you think is most suitable to your students. There are 2 different recording sheets to accommodate the 2 different levels. One uses 1-10 and one uses 1-20.

All flashcards are numbered for easy recording. Each flashcard contains ten frames up to 20 inside gifts.

An answer key is provided on the bottom two pages of the recording sheet PDF file.

Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. This download includes two PDF documents – one for the flashcards and one for the recording sheets.

I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual flashcards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting.

You can hide these flashcards anywhere you want to get the students active and moving about. Some example are:
♦ Around the classroom
♦ Outdoor play area
♦ In a tough tray
♦ In a sensory tub
etc.

This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while working on their counting skills.
