  1. Can you think of a time when you wanted one more of something, like a toy or a snack? How did it make you feel when you got it?
  2. Imagine you are one of the monsters in the story. What would you want one more of, and why?
  3. Do you like to count things like the monsters do? What is your favorite thing to count, and how high can you count?
  1. Cookie Counting Game: Gather some cookies or any small snack items. Start with one cookie and ask the children to add one more each time, counting aloud together. Encourage them to say, “I had one, now I have two!” and continue adding one more until they reach ten. This helps reinforce counting and the concept of adding one more.

  2. Balloon Art Activity: Provide paper and crayons or markers. Ask the children to draw a picture of a monster with balloons. Start with two balloons and have them draw one more each time, counting the total number of balloons as they go. Encourage them to say, “I had two, now I have three!” and continue until they reach ten balloons. This activity combines creativity with counting practice.

  3. Apple Adventure Walk: Go on a nature walk and collect small items like leaves or stones. Start with three items and ask the children to find one more each time, counting the total as they go. Encourage them to say, “I had three, now I have four!” and continue until they reach ten. This activity encourages observation and application of the concept in a real-world setting.
