Ordinal and Cardinal Numbers
Why not plan a scavenger hunt for the first day back from vacation for kindergarteners who need to know ordinal and cardinal numbers? Try working with a small group in order to engage young learners in conversation over the cardinal numbers. For example your first clue is: find the number one under the teacher’s desk. Under the teacher’s desk is the second clue leading to the number two clue found inside the scissor box. The third clue may lead to number three which is beside the fig tree. Clue number four, or the fourth clue, is found hanging over the bookshelf in the reading corner. What a wonderful and exciting way to engage the children in fun verbiage using ordinal and cardinal positioning! Note the directional words as well. January will be so much more fun when the children are moving about and no longer clueless about ordinal, cardinal, or directional!
