Quick Counting Practice Tip

Do you have a reluctant counter? Simply tell them they can have a certain number of special items than give them less and ask them to make sure you gave them enough.

Me: Jonathan, you can have five frozen grapes. (I then proceed to give him less than five...sometimes two...sometimes three...sometimes four.)

Me: Jonathan, did you get your five grapes?

Jonathan: (counts his grapes) No.

Me: How many do you have?

Jonathan: Two (or three, or four)

Me: Okay, I need to give you three more (or two, or one).

A great way to practice counting and also sneak in some early addition practice.
