How We Played The Hopscotch Activity 

Ayla wasn’t at all interested in the numbers at first, so I let her burn off some steam jumping up and down the hopscotch. We took it in turns as I showed her how to do it which she thought was brilliant. Once she was ready I showed her that we could throw the beanbag at a number, jump to it and pick it up, shouting out the number it had landed on! Once she began to loose interest I got her to stand next to me and I shouted out a number, she then had to go and stand on the correct number! We still haven’t quite got their with number recognition but it was definitely a fun way to practice!
