Play a race game. 

Divide the class into two teams. Say a number from 1 to 10. The first student from each team will run to the board and slap the flashcard as they say the number. The team will win a point as they have participated correctly.

Enhance Fine Motor Skills using play dough. 

This supports the development of fine motor skills needed for writing. Have the students make balls with play dough to match to the picture. Ask questions: How many balls are there?
