Today, we are going to have fun counting and finding out which group has more and which group has less. Are you ready? Let’s start!
Look! There are some frogs hopping by the lake and some turtles paddling as they play. Let’s count the frogs together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now, let’s count the turtles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
We have five frogs and six turtles. Can you tell which group has more? Yes, there are more turtles and fewer frogs!
Now, let’s visit the farm. There are chickens flapping their wings and pigs rolling in the mud. Let’s count the chickens: 1, 2, 3, 4. Now, let’s count the pigs: 1, 2, 3.
We have four chickens and three pigs. Which group has more? That’s right, there are more chickens and fewer pigs!
Let’s dive into the sea! We see whales swimming and penguins playing. Let’s count the whales: 1, 2. Now, let’s count the penguins: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
We have two whales and seven penguins. Which group has more? Yes, there are more penguins and fewer whales!
Counting is fun, and now you know how to find out which group has more and which has less. Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better at it!
Nature Walk Counting: Take a walk outside with your child and encourage them to count different objects they see, such as flowers, trees, or birds. Ask them questions like, “How many flowers do you see?” and “Are there more flowers or trees?” This will help them apply counting and comparing skills in a real-world setting.
Snack Time Sort and Count: During snack time, provide your child with a mix of small snacks like grapes and crackers. Ask them to sort the snacks into groups and count how many of each they have. Then, ask, “Do you have more grapes or more crackers?” This activity combines counting with a practical example they can relate to.
Story Time Comparison: Read a storybook with your child that includes groups of animals or objects. Pause during the story to count the groups together. Ask questions like, “Which group has more characters?” or “Are there fewer cats or dogs in the story?” This encourages them to think critically and compare quantities in different contexts.

Let’s count which group has more and which group has less. Count how many are in each group and do your very best. You’ll learn which group has more and which group has less.
Here’s a group of frogs hopping by the lake, and here’s a group of turtles paddling as they play. Let’s count the frogs right now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Let’s count the turtles right now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Here are five frogs and here are six turtles. Which group has more or less? You answer before me. There are more turtles and there are less frogs.
Here’s a group of chickens flapping on the farm, and here’s a group of pigs rolling by the barn. Let’s count the chickens right now: 1, 2, 3, 4. Let’s count the pigs right now: 1, 2, 3.
Here are four chickens and here are three pigs. Which group has more or less? You answer before me. There are more chickens and there are less pigs.
Here’s a group of whales swimming in the sea, and here’s a group of penguins playing so free. Let’s count the whales right now: 1, 2. Let’s count the penguins right now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Here are two whales and here are seven penguins. Which group has more or less? You answer before me. There are more penguins and there are less whales.
Let’s learn which group has more and which group has less. Count how many are in each group and do your very best. You’ll learn which group has more and which group has less.
