Active play helps children learn through movement. In this activity, children practiced number recognition and coordination while tossing balls into numbered cups.
Materials Needed
- Styrofoam balls
- Numbered plastic cups
How the Activity Works
Children toss a ball into a cup and identify the number it lands in. Teachers encourage children to say the number aloud and count objects to match.
What Children Are Learning
Children strengthen number recognition, counting skills, and hand eye coordination. The activity can be extended by introducing higher numbers or dot patterns.
