Our counting game today was Ball Toss.
I grabbed a big plastic bowl and 12 plastic, practice golf balls. If you don't have plastic balls you could always make balls out of aluminum foil.
Each child was given 3 balls to start.
I then laid a piece of green construction paper on the floor and instructed the children to line up behind it.
When it was their turn a child stepped on the green paper and tossed the balls, one at a time into the bowl.
After they tossed all 3 balls, they collected the balls and reported how many baskets they had made.
As the game went on, I moved the green paper back a few inches, making the toss a bit more difficult.
With each move of the paper, the children were given another ball to toss until they had all 12.
The children not only had fun tossing the balls, but counting them out afterwards. Each one proudly announced their toss accomplishments!
