Sometimes, the best way to learn is kinesthetically!

A quick activity we often do in the middle of our school day is to count by fives and tens (and sometimes twos).

Fives:  Hold open one hand, push it out, and say “Five”.  Push out the other hand and say “Ten”.  Continue alternating hands until you reach 100!

Tens:  Count 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. and jump as high as possible on each number.

Twos:  Hop like a bunny (and add “two” ears) as you count by twos to twenty.

 and hop on each foot as you count by ones to 20, 50, or 100.
