Hold your thumb up. • Person 1 throws a beanie baby to a person across the circle saying the person’s name first • Always throw underhand • Remember who you threw it to! • Lower your thumb once you’ve caught it • When everyone’s had a turn, repeat the same throwing sequence. • Instead of saying a name when you throw it, say the next even number (skip count by 2’s)
MULTIPLES OF THREE • Practice skip counting by threes: • Pat your thighs right, pat left, clap • On the pats, silently think the numbers ( one, two) • On the clap, say the number out loud (THREE) • GROUP JUGGLE AND • SKIP COUNT BY THREES • Once this is easy for you, move on to • 4’s, 6’s, 7’s and 8’s
