Hi there! Today, we’re going to have some fun with our friends, Monkey and Turtle. They both love bananas, and they want to share them with you!
Monkey says, “I’m a monkey, and I like bananas!” Turtle says, “I’m a turtle, and I like bananas too!”
Let’s help Monkey and Turtle count their bananas. Are you ready?
Monkey says, “Six bananas for me and six bananas for you!”
Let’s count together: One, two, three, four, five, six!
Monkey says, “Seven bananas for me and seven bananas for you!”
Let’s count together: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
Monkey says, “Eight bananas for me and eight bananas for you!”
Let’s count together: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
Monkey says, “Nine bananas for me and nine bananas for you!”
Let’s count together: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!
Monkey says, “Ten bananas for me and ten bananas for you!”
Let’s count together: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
Wow, you did an amazing job counting bananas with Monkey and Turtle! Counting is so much fun, especially when you do it with friends. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a counting superstar in no time!
Banana Counting Adventure: Gather some toy bananas or use paper cutouts. Pretend to be Monkey and Turtle and take turns counting bananas. Start with six and go up to ten, just like in the story. Can you count even more bananas? Try counting up to twelve or fifteen! How many bananas can you count together?
Banana Sharing Game: Use real or pretend bananas and practice sharing them equally between two friends, just like Monkey and Turtle. If you have 10 bananas, how many does each friend get? What if you have 8 bananas? Try different numbers and see how you can share them fairly. This will help you understand the concept of sharing and division.
Banana Hunt: Go on a banana hunt around your home or classroom. Count how many banana-shaped objects or pictures you can find. Can you find more than ten? Write down the number you find and compare it with your friends. Who found the most bananas?
